The objective of this project is to collaborate with a CESU partner to develop a facility to research, analyze and test new methods of providing resilient energy, integrating food and water systems that improve the effectiveness of the entire energy system. This facility will essentially consist of an open space where newly emerging microgrid technologies can be set up for testing and demonstrations. The intent is for any infrastructure associated to be temporary or modular. The primary component of the facility will be the necessary equipment to supply and monitor electrical loads. This facility will be referred to as the microgrid living laboratory and the intent is that once established the CESU partner, the government and any member of the microgrid industry that has technology to test will be able to access the laboratory.
