16 Airport Microgrid Implementation Toolkit What Is a Microgrid? The What is a Microgrid? page provides a well-accepted microgrid definition provided by the Department of Energy: “A microgrid is a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources within clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid. It can connect and disconnect from the grid to enable it to operate in both grid-connected or island-mode.” Read through the definition and supporting material, including the list of microgrid benefits. Now that you have a better understanding of what a microgrid is, select the “Continue” button and proceed to the Case Examples page to see how microgrids have been put into practice at airports. Case Examples The Case Examples page includes six airport microgrid case studies; five military airbase microgrids and one civilian airport microgrid. Click on a link and read through the case study for details related to microgrid technologies, capabilities, sources of funding, project timeline, and more. At the bottom of each case study, select the “Back Button” to return to the Case Examples page. After reading through the case studies, select the “Continue” button to move on. Microgrid Design Process The Microgrid Design Process page details a 10-stage framework for microgrid design and implementation developed under ACRP Synthesis 91 / TCRP Synthesis 137: Microgrids and Their Application for Airports and Public Transit.

Then select the “Begin Module 1” button to move on. Airport Information On the Airport Information page, enter your airport’s International Air Transport Association (IATA) 3-letter identifier in the dropdown menu and select your facility from the list.* Verify your facility name and location on the associated map and then select the “Save and Continue” button at the bottom of the page to move on. Utility and Commodity Information Now that you have entered your airport information, the next step is to enter information about your local utility provider(s). First, select your airport’s Electric Utility Provider using the dropdown list.* The dropdown list includes all of the electric utility providers registered in your state (based on your previously entered airport code). Next, enter in your Electric Utility Tariff Name.** Consult your monthly utility bill to find the precise name of your utility tariff, then enter it in the text box. If you don’t have access to your utility bill, or can’t find the utility tariff on your bill, you can enter Unknown in the text box. Selecting the “Save and Continue” button will save the information that you have entered. If you need to exit the toolkit for any reason, you may return to where you left off with all previously input content in place.

18 Airport Microgrid Implementation Toolkit Next, if your airport generates heat or electricity from fuel such as diesel or natural gas, enter the name and fee schedule of your commodity provider in the appropriate text boxes. Leave the Commodity Provider Name field blank if your facility does not purchase fuel to deliver heat or to generate electricity.** If your electric utility is the same company that provides these commodities, then enter Same. Leave Commodity Fee Schedule field blank if your facility does not purchase fuel to deliver heat or to generate electricity.** Otherwise, consult your monthly commodity bill to find the precise name of your fee schedule, then enter it in the text box. If you don’t have access to your commodity bill or can’t find the fee schedule on your bill, you can enter Unknown in the text box. Once you have made all applicable utility/commodity provider inputs, select the “Save and Continue” button to move on. In the next section you will be presented with general and reliability information about your utility provider that you should be aware of. General Information The “Your Utility” section includes the following information: state, utility, ownership, ISO & RTO, retail choice, and restructuring status. Read through the “Microgrid Development Considerations Based on Utility Ownership” section. This section will be populated based on your utility provider’s ownership structure. Read through the “About Utility Ownership Types, ISOs/RTOs, and Regulated/Deregulated Markets to gain a better understanding of the structure of your utility provider, which may influence how your airport chooses to move forward with microgrid development. Also, explore the ISO/RTO, Restructuring Status, and Retail Choice Maps for additional context.
