Combining results from two other studies, we show that energy efficiency can be pay for itself when resilience requirements are placed on a community resilience hub.
The Ko’olauloa community resilience hub has affordable microgrid options to meet its resilience requirements. Renewables and battery are insufficient without very high cost. Either diesel generation or a hydrogen battery are needed to assure availability and keep cost down.
