Abstract

The micro energy grid (MEG) represents a natural step in the evolution toward smart energy grids. Future power systems are expected to include interconnected MEGs combined with solar, wind, and plugin electrical vehicles. For an MEG, operational costs and emissions depend on the types of distributed energy resources (DERs) used. Using DERs with multiple fuel options can reduce the generation costs and increase the reliability of the power systems. MEGs with excessive energy generation can trade with other MEGs with ...
