提高社区应变能力
西班牙&E is committed to modernizing the power grid to integrate more clean energy, 提高电网可靠性, 提高安全性. 微型电网, 这些基本上是微型电网, use technologies such as energy storage to provide power to specific communities or neighborhoods if an outage occurs on the larger grid.
The 博雷戈泉微电网 is a Glimpse into the Future
2013年，可持续发展目标&E installed America’s first utility-scale microgrid to provide community resiliency to 博雷戈弹簧, a remote desert town in northeastern San Diego County that is connected to the larger grid by a single transmission line. 博雷戈斯普林斯有超过3个,000 residents who experience extreme heat and monsoonal rains, 哪些会影响能源服务. 微电网有助于保持关键设施, 比如消防站或学校, energized during adverse or high-fire risk weather conditions that necessitate a Public 安全 Power Shutoff (PSPS).
博雷戈泉微电网 uses smart grid technology — including local power generation, 局部储能, and automated switching — to create a more robust and resilient grid that can dynamically react to changing environmental and grid conditions. The 博雷戈泉微电网 is connected to the smart grid, but it can disconnect and function independently during emergencies to supply vital electricity to the local community through its on-site resources.
西班牙&E is currently developing several innovative projects to reduce carbon emissions and strengthen community resilience at the 博雷戈泉微电网.
向100%清洁能源转型
西班牙&E is currently upgrading the 博雷戈泉微电网 to operate with 100% clean energy, which is supplied by two local solar farms and ample customer rooftop systems. 西班牙&E也在转换多余的太阳能, 是在博雷戈斯普林斯产生的, to hydrogen that can be stored on-site and provide reserve energy for up to eight hours.
An electrolyzer will produce hydrogen when solar energy is abundant on the local circuit, and a fuel cell will convert the hydrogen to electricity when needed by customers to strengthen electric service reliability and community resiliency.

发展长效储氢
在我们的博雷戈泉微电网，可持续发展目标&E will test hydrogen for long-duration (eight hours or more) energy storage. Clean hydrogen will be produced using excess solar power from the local solar farm and rooftop systems. Water used to produce hydrogen will be the equivalent of what is used in a standard American home. The clean hydrogen will then be stored in tanks and converted back to electricity when needed by emissions-free fuel cells. 当能源需求高的时候, the energy reserve can be made available for dispatch by the microgrid or the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) to support grid reliability.

西班牙&E 微型电网 Support Communities in High-Fire Threat Districts
The 博雷戈泉微电网 offers a powerful example of the potential of smart grid technology. When the microgrid was used during an actual power emergency, it gave 西班牙&E and our customers a glimpse of a “utility of the future” — one in which the grid itself can respond to outages by routing and restoring power where it’s most needed, 给居民带来生机活力, 而且很有可能在这个过程中挽救生命.
西班牙&E是利用新的, innovative technologies and lessons learned at 博雷戈弹簧 to build more microgrids across the company’s service territory. 例如, two newly operational microgrids are designed to support communities in the high-fire threat districts of Ramona and Cameron Corners.
雷蒙娜微型智能电网"
2022年4月，可持续发展目标&E completed a new microgrid to provide backup power to the Ramona Air Attack Base (RAAB), dedicated to protecting rural communities from wildfires. 作为加州消防局和美国消防局的所在地.S. 林业局的空中消防设备, RAAB responds to an average of 450 calls per year and is the oldest Air Attack Base in the Department’s system. The 雷蒙娜微型智能电网" was built in collaboration with the two agencies it supports, and it produces zero emissions because it is powered by 500 kW / 2,000千瓦时电池.
卡梅伦角微电网
Cameron Corners is a remote community located in southeastern San Diego County. To minimize the impact of a PSPS on this community, 西班牙&E built the microgrid to help keep critical facilities powered during extended outages and emergencies. 这些设施包括中央电信, 医疗中心, 消防局和警察局, and local convenience stores that residents depend on for safety needs and necessities such as ice, 水和汽油. The project includes an 875 kWh solar array to generate renewable electricity, 加上一个非危险品, 不易燃的, 而且是完全可回收的,400千瓦时铁液流电池储存清洁能源. 在正常的电网运行期间, the microgrid will dispatch energy through CAISO to support overall grid stability and reliability.
