The cost of the basic elements of control — microgrid controller, real time automation controllers, remote terminal units, utility relays, communication are, in some ways, a surprisingly smaller piece of the cost puzzle than the cost of the physical infrastructure to make the desired function operate and the engineering required to sort it
The analysis of total microgrid costs per megawatt shows that the community microgrid market has the lowest mean, at $2.1 million/MW of DERs installed; followed by the utility and campus markets, which have mean costs of $2.6 million/MW and $3.3 million/MW, respectively. Finally, the commercial market has the highest average cost, at $4 million/MW.
The analysis shows that controller cost data as a percentage of total microgrid costs are relatively similar among the projects in our database and the NY Prize data despite the wide variety of system sizes, types, and uses. Controller costs per megawatt range from $3,500/MW to nearly $600,000/MW, excluding outliers, with a mean of $85,000/MW.
Emerson’s microgrid controls solution, built upon the Ovation™ control system with an integrated microgrid controller, manages a microgrid’s distributed energy assets to cost-effectively produce low-carbon electricity while maintaining grid stability and operational resiliency.
In commercial/industrial and utility microgrids, soft costs (43% and 24%, respectively) represent significant portion of the total costs per megawatt. Finally, energy storage contributes significantly to the total cost of commercial and community microgrids, which have percentages of 25% and 15%, respectively, of the total costs per megawatt.
Managed by a Programmable Logic Controller, the smart grid reaches an installed energy that is ten times superior to the energy production, making the station's micro smart grid three times more efficient than any existing network.
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.
