High cost. In general, power from a microgrid today is more expensive than power from the main grid. Cost drivers: Need for redundancy to achieve high reliability. Most microgrids are built around existing distribution circuits, which were not designed for microgrids.
Microgrids can take maximum advantage of DC power, which could ultimately improve overall energy efficiency and simplify system control. High cost. In general, power from a microgrid today is more expensive than power from the main grid. Cost drivers: Need for redundancy to achieve high reliability.
Most microgrids installed commercially today were installed for reliability-enhancement reasons. Eventually, microgrids may be lower-cost. Large-scale mass production of microgrid equipment, improvements in energy storage and renewable energy technology, and standardization of design and operations may eventually make microgrids a low-cost option.
According to Nordman, the future of Microgrid technology lies in making it more modular, widespread, and inexpensive so that people could potentially purchase generation or storage systems and bring them home to use.
According to Nordman, a single-customer microgrid is a better approach for distributed energy resource management systems. He suggests starting small and then scaling up to multicustomer microgrids when the technology becomes more sophisticated.
