The world is electrifying at a record pace, driven by AI adoption and data center demands, smart homes and buildings, the growth of electric transportation, and the increased electrification of manufacturing and agricultural practices.
By 2030, U.S. electricity demand is expected to surge dramatically, yet our aging grid wasn’t built for these new loads. Outages are increasing, weather events are intensifying, and communities are feeling the strain. Reliable power is no longer a convenience, it’s essential for keeping hospitals running, protecting food and medicine, supporting emergency services, and maintaining daily life.
Microgrids are one of the most powerful answers to these challenges – providing resilient energy to operators and even providing power to the main grid during peak loads times and outages. As demand for electrification and reliability grows, so does the need for people who understand how to design, model, and implement these systems. Learning microgrid systems places you at the forefront of one of the fastest-growing and most consequential fields in the energy transition — and gives you the tools to help communities, businesses, and critical infrastructure keep the lights on when it matters most.
Developed with INCOSE and the Cleveland engineering society, you’ll learn how to design and model the energy systems powering the new energy transition from the comfort of your own home.
