Preliminary Assessment of Distributed Energy Options in Greenville, Florida

Through the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy to Communities (E2C) program, NLR, other national laboratory experts, and select organizations provide Expert Match - free, short-term technical assistance to address near-term energy challenges and questions. Expert Match is for community stakeholders who have decision-making power or influence in their community but need access to additional energy expertise to inform key upcoming decisions. This Expert Match request supported the Town of Greenville, Florida with a REopt techno-economic analysis of solar PV, wind, battery storage, and diesel generation at two community facilities, cost-optimal sizing of on-site generation to reduce electricity costs, evaluation of incremental on-site generation targets (20-100% of annual load), and resilience modeling to assess backup power options for outages ranging from 4 hours to 1 week.
