Impact assessment of microgrid implementation considering complementary building operation: An Ontario, Canada case

摘要: Abstract This case study presents the energy, emissions, and operating cost advantages consequences of microgrid implementation. The buildings system considered in this consists commercial residential components exhibits complementary building use behavior between these two types. investigates provided to overall by as a cluster compared standalone operation for each unit. Variety distributed electricity generation technologies were implemented modelled evaluate behaviors photovoltaic seasonal micro co-generation heat power operational configuration. results show that was able manage its storage resources meet total demand microgrid. achieved through sharing local energy resources, which improved load-balancing more efficient utilization capacities within system. From assessment, implementation configuration resulted reduction required capacity up 6.7% while also reducing consumption grid 13.8%, operation. Meanwhile, emissions costs assessments showed that, under scenarios with high level potential micro-cogeneration operation, reduces annual emission 1.29% 61.2%, respectively.
