GE announced today that it was awarded the contract, which is being funded with Recovery Act money from the DOD's Environmental Security Technology Certification Program.
The move advances GE in the smart grid arena as an increasing number of public-private partnerships and projects emerge to develop intelligent, integrated systems to efficiently manage energy from its generation at multiple sources to the many points of its delivery.
"The way to think about microgrid technology is that it's another tool in the tool box when you look at the smart grid -- it is designed to address specific challenges, but it is also an important piece of the overall smart grid strategy," John Kern, the manager of GE's Smart Grid Research Lab, told GreenBiz.com and GreenerBuildings.com.
