State Grid Microfilm Review

What is Microgrid technology sizing?

MDT gives users the capability to search a variety of microgrid technology configurations to provide alternative design decisions on microgrid system costs, performance, and reliability. The model has two major capabilities. The microgrid sizing capability is a mixed-integer linear programming optimization to determine microgrid technology sizing.

Are microgrids a smart grid?

Microgrids as a form of “smart grids” have attracted more attention in the last decade, as they are one of the tools that provide the possibility of using distributed generation to meet the growing demand for electricity. This reason justifies the trends in the use of microgrids.

What is a grid-tied DC-based microgrid?

Lastly, a grid-tied DC-based, non-synchronous architecture simplifies interconnection with the AC grid and permits straightforward plug-and-play capabilities in the microgrid, allowing addition of components without substantial re-engineering .

Is market restructuring a threat to a microgrid?

Market restructuring, like that proposed in New York's “Reforming the Energy Vision (REV)” effort, will be required to move from a situation where microgrids are viewed as a threat to one in which distributed energy resource services are valued by the utility grid and fairly compensated .

Is a microgrid considered an Electric Corporation?

A microgrid is likely to be considered an electric corporation if it intends to serve multiple, otherwise unrelated, retail customers, cross a public way with power lines, and/or obtain a franchise from a local authority. The reasons for this conclusion are discussed below in more detail.

What is microgrid simulation?

First, microgrid simulation has evolved from traditional power system-based simulation and optimization to comprehensive power and thermal energy integration modeling. The integration of power with simulation modeling provides users systematic modeling capabilities in a microgrid system to address complex energy demand and generation requirements.
