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 MOREFocusing on the electricity and thermal energy requirement of contemporary buildings, a joint operation of photovoltaic thermal (PV/T)-based prosumers and a microturbine-based combined heat and power system has been presented to analyse the economics of a grid-connected microgrid (MG) system.
READ MORESmall-scale decentralised microgrids are being touted as one of the most credible ways to provide electricity to the energy poor. However, as a first-of-its-kind report highlights, if microgrids are to be viable on a meaningful scale, developers must learn how to manage the communities they serve. Heidi Vella July 8, 2014.
READ MOREThe primary objectives for TRY are reducing energy consumption and adopting renewable energy sources, storage and energy sharing. In December 2017, the community microgrid shown in Fig. 9, a first of its kind in Australia, was launched at Yackandandah with a partnership among TRY, Mondo Power and AusNet Services.
READ MOREMicrogrids also offer broader economic benefits that can position a community for long-term growth and economic development. Microgrids create new jobs. As the North American energy infrastructure moves toward a more microgrid-driven architecture over the next 10-15 years, microgrid manufacturing, installation and
