Microgrid financing is uncharted territory for many investors because microgrids are relatively new, complex and different from other forms of alternative energy. Financing models are likely to become clear once investors understand how to calculate a return on investment (ROI) for microgrids. Establishing microgrid ROI requires a full
The Data Center Energy Trilemma. A few months ago, in data center-heavy northern Virginia, a group of industry experts met in a panel at the inaugural Data Center Frontier Trends Summit to discuss the so-called "Data Center Energy Trilemma." This triangle of challenges includes energy, cost of investment and meeting demand while still trying to meet
Warehouse credit could create a way to finance many microgrids so that they are built in aggregate across communities. Warehousing already is being used for some clean energy projects — both large and small — in Green Jobs-Green New York, Connecticut Green Bank''s C-PACE and Pennsylvania''s Warehouse for Energy Efficiency Loans.
The literature on microgrid design has recognized this. References 13 and 14 each introduce a staged design framework for the economic design of microgrids, where modeling and implementation are carried out in distinct steps aimed at different aspects of the microgrid design. These approaches typically include a single conceptual design stage centered around
