  2. Benefits Increases grid reliability Addresses vulnerability of critical infrastructure Helps manage peak loads and defers T&D investment Lowers emissions and utilizes fuel resources more efficiently Helps customers manage energy costs Department of Energy Nine RDSI Projects Projects selected in 2008 Projects are either microgrids or are developing technologies that will advance microgrids Objective: To encourage use of distributed resources to provide power during peak load periods and for other functions and services. Minimum 15% reduction in peak load on distribution feeder or substation. Systems must be capable of operating in both grid parallel and islanded modes $55 million of DOE funds over five years (total value of awards will exceed $100 million, including participant cost share)
