The Smart Microgrid Community is the first preplanned nest microgrid project in Canada to integrate a full-scale, operational smart residential energy system. The community includes a roof top solar panel array, rechargeable lithium-ion battery energy storage system, electric vehicle charging stations, innovative smart metering system for community use, and an integrated distribution energy service platform to control and coordinate the components of the microgrid. Hari Suthan, chief strategic growth officer at Opus One Solutions, joins BNN Bloomberg to discuss.
