READ MOREThe reviewed papers show that economic incentives can certainly have an impact on the economic optimal microgrid configuration: Zachar et al. [16] investigate the impact of both a 30% and a 50% tax credit towards renewable energy investments. Their results show a rather limited impact for a 30% tax credit, but a far more appreciable

READ MORESpecifically, using reasonable assumptions regarding 10-MW incremental investments in a microgrid and in central-station generation with necessary transmission and distribution investments, the analysis indicates that, when considering the reliability, T&D investment deferral, local economic, environmental, and social costs and benefits of
READ MOREMicrogrid economics works particularly well for certain customers when the system includes combined heat and power (CHP). With CHP, microgrids for hospitals, nursing homes, and recreational community centers become "a marriage made in heaven," Sathe said. "It''s two for one. The facility gets electricity, puts the heat byproduct to good
READ MOREIn this paper, we propose the optimization scheduling problem of multi-microgrid with the economic objective. A multi-microgrid economic dispatching model is constructed considering wind power, photovoltaic, energy storage, load and distribution network. The energy exchange and energy storage devices between microgrids are
READ MOREThis first TB covers the definition of microgrid, and describes the necessary equipment and methods needed to implement one. Technology and business case development are described in detail and benefits analysis conducted for two example microgrids. A second brochure expected in late-2016 will develop an actual roadmap for microgrid development.

READ MOREThe economic power-dispatching model of a multi-microgrid is comprehensively established in this paper, considering many factors, such as generation cost, discharge cost, power-purchase cost, power sales revenue, and environmental cost. To construct this model, power interactions between the two microgrids and those

READ MOREAn incisive and practical exploration of the engineering economics of microgrids In The Economics of Microgrids, a pair of distinguished researchers delivers an expert discussion of the microeconomic perspectives on microgrids in the context of low-carbon, sustainable energy delivery. In the book, readers will explore an engineering economics framework
READ MOREThe optimal scheduling of microgrid clusters and the control of DC-DC converters have been conducted research in depth in the above literature. However, there is a lack of research on economic optimal scheduling and the combination between upper-layer and lower-level control under the islanded operation mode of DC microgrid clusters.
READ MOREBased on the characteristics of electric vehicles (EVs), this paper establishes the load models of EVs under the autonomous charging mode and the coordinated charging and discharging mode. Integrating the EVs into a microgrid system which includes wind turbines (WTs), photovoltaic arrays (PVs), diesel engines (DEs), fuel
