вЂњWe always try to shed light on a broad range of microgrid projects at our conferences so very different people can learn from each other.вЂќ вЂњAs more diverse customers become interested in microgrids, we are seeing new value propositions emerge, such as demand charge reduction and resilience,вЂќ he added. Peter Lilienthal, HOMER Energy co-founder and CEO. вЂњI believe that as many cities and large corporations consider building out distributed energy projects as microgrids, we have a lot of important lessons to learn from early adopters in harsh arctic environments and off-grid communities in the developing world,вЂќ said Dr. Peter Lilienthal, CEO of HOMER Energy, to mention a few.

Dan Kammen, who chairs the Energy and Resources Group at the University of California, Berkeley Peter Asmus, Director of Research at Navigant and Dr. Keynote speakers include Maxine Ghavi, Group Senior Vice President and Head of the Grid Edge Solutions Product Group at ABB, who will talk about вЂњThe Role of Microgrids at the Grid Edge: Global Best Practices вЂќ Jon Exel, who leads the Global Facility on Mini-Grids at the World Bank Dr. Speakers will discuss microgrids for resilience, the ways in which microgrids are remaking Puerto RicoвЂ™s electric grid in the wake of Hurricane Maria, the role of microgrids in African economic development, and a variety of other topics covering microgrid regulation, finance, and technology. The conference attracts engineers, distributed energy developers, equipment manufacturers, policymakers, planners, and government officials from diverse cultural and economic environments. Leading microgrid innovators will present case studies from Asia, Africa, the Caribbean and the Arctic, and illustrate the variety that is emerging in the roles that microgrids serve and the ways in which they are valued. Acknowledging the explosion in popularity of microgrids worldwide, the conference will explore the lessons that can be learned from pioneering microgrids in remote locations, and examine what insights can be applied to new projects.

The 7th annual HOMER International Microgrid Conference will take place in Cambridge, Massachusetts from October 7-9.
