Planning and Financing Strategy for Clustered Multi-Carrier Microgrids

This paper discusses the optimal deployment of a cluster consisting connected AC-coupled, low voltage (48 V) multi-carrier microgrids within an integrated framework. The utilization this framework proves to be effective approach for enhancing reliability, resiliency, and operational quality clustered microgrids. Furthermore, it enables improved distributed energy resources in both grid-connected stand-alone scenarios. In order address local objectives, presents hybrid determine integration size autonomous Additionally, proposed model identifies ideal demand response intensity each microgrid, which can result savings financial profits by modifying demands during peak hours. primary objective is minimize development cost while ensuring desired level reliability online reserve. To planning problem parallel microgrid network, mixed-integer programming formulated. Numerical results obtained from three-microgrid system demonstrate effectiveness model, validating economic viability expansion project various perspectives. Finally, practical financing strategy facilitate successful implementation microgrids, thereby contributing achievement sustainable goals. study examines role governments facilitating capital investments projects, aligning with It proposes feasible through settled billing tax rates ranging 4% 26% customers over ten years. assist policymakers formulating supportive policy programs effectively implement promote diverse premises.
