Determination of microgrid load size

6 FAQs about [Determination of microgrid load size]

What is microgrid sizing problem?

The formulation of microgrid sizing problem refers to development of an optimization problem that aims to optimally size a microgrid considering the load profile, available resources, budget, available space, as well as, the technical, economic, environmental, and reliability requirements.

What is the optimal sizing of a microgrid?

Though the optimal sizing of a microgrid is essential for ensuring its optimal operation (both from technical and economic aspects), there is no reported framework or guideline for approaching the problem.

How can a microgrid be optimally designed and operated?

The optimal design and operation of microgrids involves complex trade-offs between technical, economic, and environmental factors. This research addresses these challenges by proposing a comprehensive approach that combines the sizing and energy management problems of a microgrid into a single decision-making framework.

How can a microgrid meet its load demand?

The microgrid should be able to meet its load demand. To minimise the dependency of the microgrid on the electric distribution network, the energy generated from the renewable sources must equal the load demand of the system. Reliability is one of the key factor for microgrid sizing.

How is Tel calculated in a microgrid sizing with storage system?

Additionally, it is possible to use this criterion in a microgrid sizing with storage system, where TEL is only considered when the storage system charge is full and the excess of energy generation is lost. It is calculated as follows, where PG is the power available by the generation and storage system and PL is the power demand.

What software is used for Microgrid sizing?

Numerous software platforms are used for microgrid sizing, among which HOMER and iHOGA are arguably the most commonly used ones . HOMER uses the meteorological data of the desired location to determine the microgrid size. It is capable of sizing an energy system comprising renewable energy, conventional sources, and storage systems.
