Cost Analysis of Renewable Energy-Based Microgrids
This paper analyzes the cost composition of microgrid construction as well as the influencing key factors. The Microgrid Cost Study aims at identifying the average cost of a typical microgrid project. The project is limited to the vicinity of U.S. and hence takes into account of only existing microgrid projects in U.S. The project's objective is to find cost of microgrid and its individual components for next 5 years. This will help in RandD for future microgrid projects as well as help investors/developers/researchers get an idea about the cost of their projects that they might want to start in near future.
