6 FAQs about [Microgrid cost-benefit analysis]
What is a microgrid cost model?
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory was commissioned by the U.S. Department of Energy to complete a microgrid cost study and develop a microgrid cost model. The goal of this study is to elucidate the variables that have the highest impact on costs as well as potential areas for cost reduction. This study consists of two phases.
What is the DOE's microgrid cost study?
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) microgrid cost study is identifying the costs of components, integration, and installation of U.S. microgrids; project cost improvements; and technical accelerators during the next 5 years and beyond.
What are the benefits of microgrids?
One potential benefit is the reduction/avoidance of transmission and distribution costs associated with the displacement or deferral of large, centralized generation and bulk transmission/distribution systems by microgrids with distributed resources closer to load centers.
What percentage of microgrid costs are soft costs?
Soft costs, which include interconnection, financing, engineering, procurement, and construction management, range from 0.4%–1.6% of total microgrid costs, as shown in Figure 24. Figure 25 shows the total percentage of soft costs in relation to total microgrid costs.
Why is it difficult to generalize costs for Microgrid technology?
It is particularly challenging to generalize costs for microgrid technology because every installation has unique design and architecture characteristics that affect the overall cost of the individual microgrid components.
How much does a microgrid controller cost?
Controller costs per megawatt range from $3,500/MW to nearly $600,000/MW (excluding outliers), with a mean of $85,000/MW. The analysis shows that controller costs as a percentage of total microgrid costs are relatively similar among the projects in our database and the NY Prize data despite the wide variety of system sizes, types, and uses.
