Welcome to the How-To Knowledge Hub â your central library for microgrid learning, design guidance, and practical tools.
This hub is built to help you move from concept â feasibility â engineering â compliance â deployment with confidence. Whether you're planning your first microgrid, building a proposal, selecting controllers, integrating storage, or navigating interconnection standards â everything is organized into easy-to-follow categories.
Use the sections below to jump directly into the knowledge you need.
This hub supports the earliest stage of microgrid planning: determining if a project is viable, what it will cost, and what value it delivers across resilience, savings, and stakeholder outcomes.
Define: Ready-to-use documents that help you organize assumptions, inputs, risks, and decisions.
Define: A simplified, decision-ready breakdown of project cost categories and typical drivers.
Define: Methods to quantify outage protection benefits and translate reliability into economic value.
Define: Foundational guidance for load profiling and demand analysisâso sizing and value estimates hold up.
Use this hub to move from concept â engineered layout â review-ready package, with fewer iterations and cleaner field execution.
Define: How to structure microgrid layoutsâfrom sources and buses to switching and operating modes.
Define: Protection approaches that keep systems safe and reviewers confidentâwithout overcomplication.
Define: Sizing methods that balance reliability, cost, runtime, and operational constraints.
Define: How to integrate storage into architecture + controlsâcleanly, safely, and with fewer field issues.
This hub helps you compare architectures, clarify EMS vs SCADA roles, and select strategies that pass commissioning and run clean in the field.
Define: A practical decision flowâwhat matters, what doesnât, and what reviewers will ask about.
Define: Compare features that actually affect performanceâlatency, I/O, protocols, resilience, support.
Define: Clean definitions + how to split responsibilities so your architecture stays maintainable.
Define: Operational strategies you can implement and defendâbuilt around measurable performance.
Define: Standards guidance and how they apply to microgrids.

Use this page like a âproject GPSâ: pick your stage, learn the basics fast, then execute with tools you can reuse.
Choose the hub that matches where you are today â Feasibility, Engineering, Controls, Compliance, and more.
New here? Begin with the Explained pages to build context fast, then move into standards, checklists, and execution tools.
Turn knowledge into action. Use templates, guides, and compliance aids to support real project executionânot just reading.
Save your most-used resources so you can move faster on every projectâ especially during reviews, approvals, and audits.
