SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The development of the DOE Microgrid Program
Strategy (Strategy) started in December 2020. The purpose was to define
strategic research and development (R&D) areas for the DOE Office of
Electricity (OE) Microgrids R&D (MGRD) Program to support its vision
and accomplish its goals. The overarching vision for the Strategy and
MGRD is:
By 2035, microgrids are envisioned to be essential building blocks
of the future electricity delivery system to support resilience,
decarbonization, and affordability.
The Strategy development process began with microgrid experts
deliberating on areas the Strategy should focus on for impactful
results in key metrics, such as reliability, resilience,
decarbonization, and affordability, in the next five to ten years.
These deliberations led to the development of seven strategic white
papers, one for each of the six strategic R&D areas identified and one
additional white paper on the overarching program vision, objectives,
and targets. Each white paper was developed by a team of national
laboratory and university members, and then reviewed by an industry
advisory panel. These seven white papers constitute the DOE Microgrid
Program Strategy.
OE sponsored the DOE MGRD Strategy Symposium on July 27-28, 2022,
to seek input and feedback on the seven white papers from broader
microgrid stakeholders. The symposium featured presentations, panel
discussions, and group discussions on each white paper. Discussions
focused on key R&D recommendations and their priority, aspirational R&D
targets in five to ten years, and actionable steps recommended for
enabling regulatory and business models.
The final draft of the seven white papers, which include feedback
from the symposium, are being posted at <a href="https://www.energy.gov/oe/microgrid-strategy-call-public-comment">https://www.energy.gov/oe/microgrid-strategy-call-public-comment</a> for 30 days of public comment
before finalization.
