READ MOREThe microgrid itself (if grid-connected) cannot received approval for the interconnect unless it agrees to how it will behave when the utility gives it a command. Second, there may be additional grid services that the microgrid can provide, which creates a potential benefit to the utility financially or in meeting its obligations as the responsible
READ MOREEnergy sharing has gained substantial popularity in improving the controllability of distributed energy resources (DERs). In this chapter, we introduce the concept of sharing economy as a novel and promising business model in microgrids. We first compare the operation schemes with and without energy sharing, which explains the role of sharing economy in

READ MOREA microgrid is a small-scale power grid that can be operated independently or in combination with the area''s main electrical grid. Any small-scale localized station that has its own power resources, generation and loads and definable boundaries can be qualified as a microgrid. Microgrids can be intended as back-up power or to support the
