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 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 MOREThis paper presents a formulation to determine the appropriate power dispatch of an energy storage system, whose available energy is dependent on the charging/discharging pattern from previous time periods. The implementation structure is consistent with current dispatch algorithms used in microgrids, and the algorithm can be
READ MOREMicrogrids are emerging as feasible solutions to handle local energy systems. Several factors influence the development of such systems, such as technical, economic, social, legal, and regulatory issues. These important aspects need to be addressed to design appropriate microscale projects that take into consideration adequate technology without
