The Power of Partnership & The Value of Participating
“Electric utilities are not an island unto themselves, although we often
act that way”

A microgrid is an electrical system that includes multiple loads and distributed
energy resources that can be operated in parallel with the broader utility grid or as
an electrical island. (reference OpenEI)

Ryerson University 3 Dimensional Solar Modeling Project
Web Tools for Rooftop Solar • In 2D system, a set of access factors were used to estimate useable roof area for solar
installation – Not very precise at building level, good for public outreach, etc.
• 3DSolar will allow users to explore the 3D model of their rooftop, play and place the selected solar panels, and get instant estimation of the output of electricity generation
