Abstract

This chapter proposes a design for a resilient micro energy grid (MEG) with modeling and management control of energy sources and distribution systems to minimize accompanying hazards on people, facilities and the environment. The MEG is now widely used to meet the combined electric power, heating, and cooling demands for several types of buildings.

Cogeneration and thermal energy storage (TES) potentials are advanced aspects that are presented in the MEG modeling. Cogeneration produces thermal energy along with electricity by using a heat recovery steam generator to restore heat ...
