Development of Distributed Energy Microgrid System in U.S.

doi:10.11930/j.issn.1004-9649.201904056

Abstract

Abstract: This paper provides definitions of distributed energy microgrid system. Firstly, it reviews U.S. past ten years’ experience on developing microgrid demonstration projects and policies from federal government to local cities and utility companies. Then, it compares key simulation software developed through U.S. microgrid research. Finally, this paper introduces different business models of distributed energy microgrid construction often adopted in the U.S. market. The goal of this research is to review U.S. distributed energy microgrid research and provide useful experience to China on comprehensive energy-internet demonstration.

Key words: distributed energy, integrated energy service, microgrid, commercial mode, demonstration project, software tool, U.S.
