The microgrid will include a 150-kW photovoltaic solar array and a 450-kW, 2.5-hour battery energy storage system. Like most microgrids, the system won't just run during power outages. Under normal conditions it will serve the larger grid.
In Florida, both Florida Power & Light (FPL) and Tampa Electric are partnering on microgrid projects. FPL, which describes itself as the largest energy company in the US as measured by retail electricity produced and sold, was featured in not one, but two microgrid announcements this week.
Florida is the most hurricane-prone state in the US, vulnerable to an average $15.4 billion in storm damages annually. So it's perplexing that state government hasn't made at least as much fanfare about microgrids as places like California and New Jersey. But even if its government isn't leading the way, microgrids are cropping up in the state.
FPL partnered with FIU's Engineering Center to develop a microgrid that will supply backup power to the university's engineering campus during severe weather events. The project adds a 3-MW battery to an existing FIU-FPL solar array, enabling faculty and students to conduct research and gain hands-on experience with the innovative technology.

It''s generally more difficult for private developers to build sophisticated microgrids in states like Florida that did not undergo industry restructuring. Utilities in these states have more monopoly sway.
The island microgrid is powered by a 355 kW photovoltaic (PV) array, which powers all appliances and systems on the island during the day, switching off at. . Nuvation Energyprovides battery
Building a microgrid is more appealing and more doable than ever before. Solar-plus-battery microgrids (unlike generators) are not susceptible to the fossil supply chain issues that hit
This paper investigates Electric Vehicle (EV) charging strategies within a community microgrid (CMG) framework, focusing on optimizing grid stability, minimizing emissions, and reducing
When Hurricane Ian hit Florida, Georgia, Virginia and the Carolinas in 2022, more than two million people lost power. But microgrids kept critical services running at hospitals, universities
This innovative energy storage project comprises a 5-MW solar array and a 7.5-MW by 15-MWh stationary battery, as well as two mobile EV fast charging trailers. The project enables FPL to test the
In Florida, a 37-home subdivision with a community solar microgrid was able to maintain access to power despite outages elsewhere in the area. An energy expert has explained just how
This paper presents a novel multi-objective stochastic optimization model for the optimal operation of a coalition of interconnected smart microgrids, integrating renewable energy resources
None of the microgrid equipment was damaged by the hurricane. The system provided 100% uptime to customers, even when the grid-tie went down for three days.
