Networked Microgrid Optimal Design and Operations Tool: Regulatory and Business Environment Study
Microgrids increase the reliability of the electric supply at the distribution level by combining multiple power generation assets, storage systems, and loads. Networking two or more microgrids has the potential to increase reliability more efficiently and at a lower cost by takin...

The impact of Ancillary Services in optimal DER investment decisions
Microgrid resource sizing problems typically include the analysis of a combination of value streams such as peak shaving, load shifting, or load scheduling, which support the economic feasibility of the microgrid deployment. However, microgrid benefits can go beyond these, and the...
