摘要
Microgrids are evolving as an outgrowth of dispersed on-site and embedded generation through the application of emerging technologies, such as power electronics interfaces and modern controls, with microgrid economic and regulatory analysis used to evaluate distributed energy resources (DER). The economics of heat recovery and its application through combined heat and power (CHP) systems is considered as central to the evaluation of microgrids. The recovery of waste heat, which provides a significant advantage to generation close to loads, also adds to analysis complexity because of the requirement to fulfill needs for electricity and heat. Multiple decision-making responsibilities may also be concentrated in the hands of one agent, thus removing one of the serious causes of market failure in existing centralized power systems. A significant aspect of microgrid economics also having minimal evaluation methods available is local control of power quality and reliability (PQR).
