“…An energy storage system is defined as the energy produced for later use that aims to reduce power energy imbalances between demand and power production. A device that stores electrical energy that is generated by any generator is generally termed a battery [ 88 ]. The microgrid that contains storage systems also contributes to the energy management of microgrids that provide the necessary information and efficient control system with essential functionality, which guarantees that both the generation side and distribution systems provide the electrical energy at nominal operational costs [ 89 ].…”

Distributed generation connected with AC, DC, or hybrid loads and energy storage systems is known as a microgrid. Campus microgrids are an important load type. A university campus microgrids, usually, contains distributed generation resources, energy storage, and electric vehicles. The main aim of the microgrid is to provide sustainable, economical energy, and a reliable system. The advanced energy management system (AEMS) provides a smooth energy flow to the microgrid. Over the last few years, many studies were carried out to review various aspects such as energy sustainability, demand response strategies, control systems, energy management systems with different types of optimization techniques that are used to optimize the microgrid system. In this paper, a comprehensive review of the energy management system of campus microgrids is presented. In this survey, the existing literature review of different objective functions, renewable energy resources and solution tools are also reviewed. Furthermore, the research directions and related issues to be considered in future microgrid scheduling studies are also presented.

“…Optimal sizing of the system with different renewable sources based on availability and demand using various multi-objective functions are shown in [1], [2], [5]- [7], [9], [10], [15], [16], [18], [19], [22], [47], [48], [50], [51] but there are no provisions for exigencies. A business model to some extent is developed in [4], [5], [9], [11], [17], [21]- [23], [25], [28], [34], [52] but they either include spot market rate, cost of equipment's or capital cost but lacks the real time cost of equipment's, interest rate, incentive. the proposed model has all the factors according to the current market rates including capital cost, land, incentive, equipment's, current electricity rate, risk factor, GHG emissions.…”

In this paper, a profitable strategy of utilizing solar and bio-energy available in a rural location for meeting the energy deficit is discussed. The proposed model can provide 24-hour continual power supply to the vicinity without the need of any battery. The land requirement is minimal in the proposed model making it cost-effective for implementation. The paper provides a step by step procedure to optimally size the solar and bio-power plants and schedule their operation for maximum utility. A programmable smart meter connected with a central system having a user-friendly control algorithm has also been proposed at every home for end-user profitability. The smart meter will indicate energy consumption in local home, its solar energy generation, vicinity power demand, current tariff of power usage, energy imported/exported and other required details. The proposed model is discussed in detail for a location comprising of two adjacent villages named Gaddikheri and Tajamajra in Rohtak (Haryana) of North India (having 768 houses). The technical and financial analysis at this location is done using RETScreen expert software and the results are presented. The system is found to provide 24-hr power supply and also be profitable with the capital cost being recovered in less than 8 years time. Apart from this, the proposed system also provides other benefits like reduction in greenhouse gas emission (by 93%), auto power theft control, bio fertilizers, and a clean environment.

“…the common route identified in the case studies includes building envelope upgrade, replacing heating and cooling systems with more efficient low-carbon technologies, and often installing photovoltaics. The most common objective is cost reduction [110] and optimising cost and CO2 emissions to nearly zero carbon standard [117,118,122,123]. The optimisation study of Stadler et al [118] suggests that suboptimal retrofit interventions in the Austrian University campus reveal the complexity of interactions between passive interventions and DER and the need for a holistic cost and CO2 optimisation approach.…”
