. . . but maybe it has nothing whatsoever to do with the youths being educated at said schools, according to an interesting GreentechMedia article. No, the enthusiasm for microgrids seems to be about — money-making university enterprises!
Read this:
Losing power to research labs can set studies back weeks or months, invalidating tests and disrupting equipment. Honeywell believes being able to promise a higher degree of electric reliability could help schools attract high-profile research professors.
The risk to sensitive lab equipment is very real, according to Raymond Hecker, a consultant whose company, Precision Power International, sells power protection equipment to the life sciences industry.
Instruments such as lasers, spectrometers and chromatography machines can take months to recalibrate in the wake of power disruption. “That’s the bigger issue,” Hecker said.
Schools can invest in smaller backup power sources for individual labs, but when they need to protect several labs across multiple buildings, the case for a campus microgrid becomes more compelling, Burr said.
