Enhancing Community Resilience with The Green Power On-Demand System (GPODS)
The GPODS (Green Power On-Demand System) initiative focuses on deploying mobile, rechargeable, energy storage units (battery) connected to the utility distribution grid. These units can support the community’s grid resilience year-round and be deployed during disasters to pre-determined critical locations, ensuring uninterrupted power supply.
This white paper outlines the problem, describes the GPODS solution, highlights the collaborative effort driving the project, provides a status update, and emphasizes the resources provided by the All Hazards Consortium (AHC), the participating utility, and other project partners.
