QUICK TALK

Can I Be Direct? The Benefits of DC Microgrids

Date/Time: Tuesday, September 9, 2025 / 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM

Speaker: Luiz Huet de Bacellar, Vice President, Engineering and Technology, Eaton

Direct current (DC) microgrids offer a streamlined, efficient approach to integrating renewable energy technologies like solar panels, energy storage, and EV charging infrastructure. This session will explore the practical benefits of DC microgrids, including faster, easier, and more cost-effective deployment compared to traditional alternating current (AC) systems. Attendees will learn how fleet operators and industrial facilities are utilizing DC microgrids to enhance energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and lower operational costs. Through real-world case studies and insights from industry leaders, this session will provide actionable strategies for leveraging DC microgrids to build resilient, future-ready energy systems.

SPEAKING SESSION

The Trials and Tribulations of Designing and Commissioning a Microgrid

Date/Time: Wednesday, September 10, 2025 / 1:30 PM to 1:55 PM

Speaker: Bob Kirslis, Microgrid Solutions Manager, Eaton​

Location: Storage Central Theater, CAESARS FORUM

Eaton has over 200MW of designing and installing microgrids, from this experience we will share our lessons learned throughout these projects.
This session will explore the decision-making process behind types of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) to support your microgrid, how to ensure your microgrid is flexible and expendable, options for green field and existing sites to be retrofitted with microgrid systems. Strategies to maximize environmental and economic benefits while enhancing energy resilience, reliability, and sustainability. Lessons learned to reduce commissioning time.

 

SPEAKING SESSION

Technical, Regulatory and Financial Challenges of Microgrids to Simplify Decarbonization

Date/Time: Wednesday, September 10, 2025 / 5:00 PM to 5:25 PM

Speaker: Bob Kirslis, Microgrid Solutions Manager, Eaton​

Location: Grid Edge Theater, CAESARS FORUM

Recent healthcare microgrid installations demonstrate how renewable energy sources help reduce emissions and fossil fuel reliance in a campus setting. Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) waivers allow microgrids to provide backup power to healthcare facilities, accelerating decarbonization as campuses electrify power systems. However, addressing technical, grid integration, regulatory and financial challenges is crucial for success. This session will explore the decision-making process behind centralized, decentralized and hybrid microgrids, and energy storage integration. Strategies to maximize environmental and economic benefits while enhancing energy resilience, reliability and sustainability will be explored. Financing models, evolving fuel cell and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) technologies, and accommodating new electric loads like Electric Vehicles (EVs) will also be covered.
