TL;DR: The work described in this report was coordinated by the Consortium for Electric Reliability Technology Solutions and funded by the Assistant Secretary of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Office of Power Technologies of the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented an optimization approach to choose such systems and their operating schedules using Berkeley Lab's Distributed Energy Resources Customer Adoption Model (DER-CAM), extended to incorporate electrical and thermal storage options.

TL;DR: In this paper, the technical constraints imposed by the growing needs of distributed generation, DER, and demanding PQR requirements, the microgrid concept is evolving toward a potentially versatile solution.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the pricing and operation strategy with demand response (DR) for a MG retailer in an integrated energy system (IES), based on co-optimizing retail rates and MG dispatch formulated as a mixed integer quadratic programming (MIQP) problem, devises a dynamic pricing scheme that reflects the cost of generation and promotes DR, in tandem with an optimal dispatch plan that exploits spark spread and facilitates the integration of renewables.

TL;DR: Results show that used PEV batteries can create significant monetary value if subsequently used for stationary applications, and this scenario has been modeled with the Distributed Energy Resources Customer Adoption Model (DER-CAM), which identifies optimal equipment combinations to meet microgrid requirements at minimum cost, carbon footprint, or other criteria.
