Microgrid Environmental Impact
Description
Power plants have bad impacts on the
environment. One of these impacts is Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
emission resulted from power plants that depend on fossil fuel,
oil and natural gas. Renewable energy is considered as an
important solution for this problem since it is classified as clean
and environmentally friendly source of energy and helps
reducing the dependency on conventional power plants. High
renewable energy penetration into power systems is a big
challenge that can be solved by deploying the concept of smart
Micro-Grids. This paper presents a study on how much
reduction of CO2 emission can be resulted from deploying smart
micro-grid concept on a university campus, German Jordanian
University (GJU) campus was taken as a pilot. The micro-grid
is meant to operate according to an optimum resource
scheduling framework that guarantee a minimum operational
cost while achieving high local power availability.
