22 Technical Many DER technologies are on the market, ranging from well-established solar PV technology to emerging technologies in the piloting phase. Off-the-shelf microgrid controllers are less widely available and are generally custom built on a project-by-project basis.

Barriers and Considerations 23 • Co-locating loads and generation: The space available for the installation of generation resources may not be in close proximity to the loads it should serve or have easy access to electrical infrastructure. • Lack of data: Electrical demand data is an important resource for optimal microgrid design.

24 Microgrids and Their Application for Airports and Public Transit • Resiliency valuation: Many facilities (e.g., military bases, hospitals, and universities) see the requirement for uninterrupted, reliable, high quality power as a critical resource for their operations.

Barriers and Considerations 25 Operational and Organizational A microgrid has ongoing operational requirements. Operational barriers and considerations may include: • Conflicting stakeholder interests: Large, complex operations such as airports and public transit entities have many stakeholders whose priorities and requirements may be in competition or may conflict.
