Microgrid Conceptual Design Guidebook (2022)
This 2022 ETIPP guidebook from Sandia National Laboratories provides a structured approach to conceptual microgrid design. It walks planners through defining objectives, identifying critical loads, assessing site resources, and selecting appropriate generation, storage, and control technologies. The document emphasizes stakeholder engagement, regulatory considerations, and economic analysis. Templates and worksheets help organize information and evaluate design options. While a link is not provided, the guidebook is widely used by engineers and communities embarking on microgrid projects.
