Executive Summary

Increasing the grid interactivity of facilities is becoming a key enabler for decarbonization as more renewables are onboarded, both at the grid scale and on site, and uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) becomes more widespread (see Verdantix Market Overview: Technologies For Grid-Interactive Buildings). Microgrids form a vital part of the grid-interactive ecosystem, enabling the site-level management of distributed energy resources (DERs) and communication with the grid to optimize energy flows for cost-cutting, decarbonization and energy resiliency. This report analyses Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure offerings and services for microgrid control and management and examines how the firm can support customers adapting to a rapidly changing energy landscape.
