Public housing complexes near New York's waterfront suffered some of the worst damage and longest power outages after Hurricane Sandy, so to prevent that from happening in the future, the city is looking at installing a microgrid at the complexes that could provide stand-alone power in case of a larger outage. The State Power Authority is currently doing a feasibility study for a microgrid at the 2,800-unit Red Hook Houses. [NYDN; photo via Wikipedia]
