FEMP Training Catalog

This training will help agencies understand considerations for stationary battery energy storage system (BESS) procurement, including an overview of BESS use cases in the federal sector, procurement options, and lessons learned from prior projects.

This 2019 Energy Exchange recorded session (Track 4, Session 7) explores hybrid energy systems, which may include renewable and non-renewable generation (possibly with storage) and may often comprise larger microgrids.

In support of climate change resilience-related executive order goals and legislative mandates, the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) is helping agencies understand how to incorporate climate change considerations within their resilience planning efforts. This training will provide attendees with an overview of FEMP's available tools and resources on local climate change projections, how to incorporate climate information within the Technical Resilience Navigator (TRN), and include a discussion about the differences between climate change adaptation and mitigation (and the types of solutions that may be developed for each).

This training focuses on air-cooled computer server selection guidelines for data centers. Data centers house computer servers, storage, and networking equipment, as well as critical support infrastructure such as cooling and electrical systems. These facilities are critical to the mission of many types of organizations, and data center operators are challenged to deliver reliable services, operate efficiently, and ensure resiliency and flexibility.

FEMP is helping agencies understand how to maximize decarbonization while harnessing climate adaptation techniques and maintaining site resilience, allowing agencies to meet current and future decarbonization goals. This training will provide attendees with an understanding of which tools and resources are available to help plan for climate resilience and adaptation.

Recorded webinar reviews typical data center features that already support reliability, then describes two pathways—demand response and microgrids—that can enhance resilience or the ability of data centers and surrounding infrastructure to withstand and rapidly recover from attacks, accidents, or naturally occurring threats or incidents.

Recorded webinar introduces participants to the process of developing and prioritizing resilience solutions using FEMP's Technical Resilience Navigator (TRN). The TRN guides users through a step-by-step planning process with supporting tools and resources.

This 2019 Energy Exchange recorded session (Track 3, Session 4) focuses on the unique requirements of data centers and how to maintain their resilience in a compromised environment.

This 2019 Energy Exchange recorded session (Track 4, Session 6) explores energy storage, which can contribute to resilience through optimization of renewable generation sources, provision of isolated regional or local power, and aid the restoration and startup of systems.

Interested in resilience planning, but don't know where to start? This training will introduce the Federal Energy Management Program's (FEMP) new tool - the Technical Resilience Navigator (TRN) Lite. Based on FEMP's existing TRN resilience planning tool, this new, streamlined tool offers users a way to kick-start their resilience planning efforts by quickly identifying risks to critical loads and potential solutions that might help reduce risk and enhance resilience.
