Microgrids 2023 editorial

The grid involvement and renewable integration effects, as well as pricing scheme impact on operation cost and emissions are analyzed in-depth. Elastic load and DR scheduling are applied to the microgrid''s economic operation. The optimum incentive value is determined based on an optimization process assuming 40% customer DR participation.

How can Resilience Tariffs Improve Microgrid Economics?

MG: A microgrid tariff is a mechanism that can be offered by regulators to monetize more of a microgrid''s benefits, increasing financial benefits to the developer and creating a stronger economic case for the project. Tariffs can also address another existing barrier – the resistance of utilities to adopt microgrids into their ecosystem.
