READ MOREConsequently, this research introduces a new approach for aligning business models with microgrid design and LEMs for community microgrids, emphasising the importance of social capital previously introduced in [27].We illustrate this process through a two-layered schematic model, as shown in Fig. 1.The outer layer represents the key BM elements -
READ MOREMicrogrids are a means of deploying a decentralized and decarbonized grid. One of their key features is the extensive presence of renewable-based generation, which is intermittent by nature. References [27, 33, 36] enumerate some commercial and pilot CAES plants in the USA, UK, China, Germany, Ireland, Canada and Australia. The
READ MOREMicrogrids are self-contained electrical networks that draw from on-site energy sources (e.g., solar, fuel cells, and energy storage). As such, they supplement grid availability to keep the data center online in the case of a grid outage, working in concert with UPS, energy storage, and back-up generators. Conceptually, a microgrid allows
