Despite the relative novelty of the microgrid market and the challenges faced when discussing microgrid costs, it is a very useful exercise to collect cost information from the microgrid community and better understand component costs and differences from one project to another. The principal goal in Phase I of the study was to collect data.
The U.S. Department of Energy commissioned the National Renewable Energy Laboratory to complete a microgrid cost study and develop a microgrid cost model. The goal 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.
It could be possible that when there is load management or other refined enterprise-level controls in Level 3 or higher, the required software and hardware are not accounted for in the collected costs or were already there and integrated into the microgrid.
