Strategic Programs Manager, CISCO
Abstract
Today鈥檚 environment is characterized by an intense desire to improve energy efficiency that brings with it the potential to realize both cost savings opportunities and oversight, management, and mission assurance challenges. Those that manage campuses and major facilities find themselves effectively operating private micro-grids that co-habitate with, or even integrate with local utilities. The technologies found on these modern campuses and facility sites can include some or all of the following: one or more renewable sources, organic natural gas powered generation systems, storage and recovery systems, advanced distribution systems capable of aligning with dynamic supply and demand scenarios, traditional standby generators, and even localized uninterrupted power systems. The challenge is that the pursuit of efficiency can generate a world of complexity and generate vulnerabilities that can negatively impact mission assurance.
