Non-profit Energy Trade in Industrial Multi-Microgrids

This manuscript shows how the multi-microgrids of the industrial sector can use a proposed nonprofit high-level energy model to fulfill its power demand. This model applies to a cooperative renewable energy system of industrial parks located in a free trade zone. This model characterizes technical-economic feasibility for each microgrid, considering its different energy storage systems and energy unit price, which might vary. Mainly, this model incentive first self-consumption and after sharing its energy surplus. Also, every shared energy unit is recovered after, keeping a zero average in a lapse. As a result, these multi-microgrids could generate reduced operation costs.
