microgrid design study of your choice. Here you should
select or define the following:
a. Purpose of the microgrid (to supply for example an isolated village, a hospital, a set of
University buildings, a single building, a datacentre, a military base, etc).
b. Type of microgrid (grid connected or standalone)
c. Location of the microgrid
d. Demand profile characteristics including variability, if applicable
e. Types of energy sources to be considered for use in the microgrid and their profile (for
example, sun irradiance data, wind speed data, etc)
f. Specific equipment sizes and quantities of equipment items to be considered (for
example, solar arrays, wind turbines, converter, battery storage, etc)
g. All relevant cost information, including equipment costs, maintenance and operations
costs, residual values, fuel costs, interest rate, electricity tariffs, etc, as required.
h. Method and criteria to be used to optimise the configuration, including the choice of
a software tool. Here the software tool could be generic (such as MATLAB or Excel), or
it could be specialised (such as HOMER PRO
