ACEP’s Grid Edge research program seeks to explore a range of distributed energy resources to unlock local, sustainable, healthy and cost-effective energy resources available to all in ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥ and in other parts of the nation and world.
These resources include small- and mid-market solar and wind facilities, behind the meter resources, electrified loads and battery storage.
Our research focuses on cold regions and microgrid environments to:
- Improve our understanding of applications and approaches;
- Test, model and optimize controls to integrate variable energy sources;
- Investigate social, technical, economic and regulatory factors affecting grid edge technologies; and
- Engage and grow stakeholder relationships.

Grid Edge Project Highlights
The BEE initiative seeks to understand the electrification of non-electrified energy loads to harness local, sustainable and cost-effective energy resources for all.
ACEP Solar Technologies works to support responsible and equitable development of solar photovoltaic technology in ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥ and other cold regions and high latitude areas.
