01 / ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Connecting Technology and Practice
Building a Resilient Grid
Together
Exchange across industry, government, academia and research
Connecting microgrid research with real-world deployment in Taiwan.
Explore campus, feeder-level, disaster-resilient and critical-facility microgrids through research presentations, field experience and in-person discussion.
Driven by the energy transition, growing renewable energy integration, rapid development of distributed energy resources and the need for greater grid resilience, microgrids are evolving from single-site demonstrations into multi-microgrid systems, campus microgrids, feeder-based microgrids and disaster-resilient applications.
This workshop brings together experts from industry, government, academia and research to exchange knowledge on microgrid planning and operation, energy management, field demonstrations, distribution system integration, disaster resilience and economic performance. Participants will share research and implementation results to advance technical integration and collaboration across projects, sites and organizations.
