ACEP Paper Published in IEEE Journal
A new paper by ACEP's Gwen Holdmann, Jeremy Vandermeer, and Richard Wies was recently
published in the peer-reviewed journal .
The paper titled, ‘’, shows that in addition to economic drivers including extremely high energy costs,
the primary technical hurdles for renewable energy integration in AVÀÇÂÛ̳’s remote
islanded microgrids include management of distributed energy resources and design
for reliable and resilient operation with intermittent high-penetration renewable
generation.
AVÀÇÂÛ̳ has more than 200 communities operating remote islanded microgrids, and the
lessons learned from renewable integration projects in AVÀÇÂÛ̳ could help inform project
development in other markets, despite differences in climate and geography.
