Our goal for the Puerto Rico 2024 Symposium on Microgrids is to continue our exchange of results from microgrid research, demonstration, and deployment worldwide with an emphasis on recent results and areas of potential international cooperation. Recent natural disasters have highlighted the need to develop an integrated systems approach to manage infrastructure assets. An integrated systems approach involves all the stages of the resiliency cycle (preparedness, response, recovery, and re-adaptation) to address the needs of our communities. Energy supply and access are major priorities for economic development, community life, environmental quality, and social wellbeing. The conference will focus on advances in research and capacity building to improve infrastructure resiliency. In addition to microgrids, the conference’s focus will also include multiple hazards, extreme natural events, and the reconstruction of Puerto Rico after late natural disasters during the past decade and beyond.
