The Distributed Energy Resources Customer Adoption Model (DER-CAM)
DER CAM is a decision support model developed by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to identify optimal combinations of distributed energy resources (e.g., solar PV, battery storage, CHP, and demand response) for buildings or multi-energy microgrids. Given load profiles, utilit...

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...

Resilience and Economics of Microgrids with PV, Battery Storage, and Networked Diesel Generators
Current designs and assessments of microgrids have ignored component reliability, leading to significant errors in predicting a microgrid's performance while islanded. Existing life cycle cost studies on hybrid microgrids—which combine photovoltaics (PV), battery storage and net...

Scaling Up Energy Efficiency Investment in Emerging Markets Private Sector Perspectives
Since 2000, electricity demand has flattened and decoupled from Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries. This trend is anticipated to continue for the next several decades and is largely attributed to the im...
