Science of the Electric Grid – Microgrids Case Study Project – Teacher

Summary

This teacher guide walks students through the Microgrids Case Study, where students evaluate battery storage capacity, compare microgrid scale to traditional power plants, and assess tradeoffs in resilience and infrastructure design.

The teacher guide includes lesson materials, facilitation notes, and an answer key.

Pair with the Data Set activity for system-level analysis or explore Science of Energy Efficiency to examine demand-side resilience strategies. This activity is part of the complete Science of the Electric Grid lesson.
