In a recent interview, Rod Walton, managing editor of Microgrid Knowledge, sat down with Aron Bowman, president of ELM MicroGrid and ELM Solar, to discuss the latest developments in microgrid adoption and new technologies. The conversation delved into the changing landscape of microgrids, focusing on their increasing presence in areas such as electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, municipal utilities, and renewable thermal solutions.
Bowman highlighted the challenges facing EV charger deployments, particularly the interconnect challenge, which presents a significant obstacle to widespread adoption. He emphasized the value of microgrids in supporting EV markets by integrating renewable energy sources and effectively managing site demand.
The discussion also touched on Virtue Hot HD, a unique solar thermal solution designed to provide an alternative to traditional photovoltaic (PV) systems. Bowman showcased its application at Creighton University and stressed the importance of combining heat and power (CHP) systems with renewables like solar and energy storage to optimize efficiency and work towards net-zero energy goals.
Overall, the interview underscored the innovative approaches and partnerships driving advancements in microgrid technology and sustainable energy solutions. It shed light on the importance of collaboration and ingenuity in creating a more resilient and efficient energy infrastructure for the future.
