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.
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.
A building microgrid's capacity is usually around hundreds of kilowatts, and they have an active role in partial-to-full electricity supply to buildings via onsite energy supply components, such as solar PV, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and diesel generators (DG) .
Figure A-8. shows soft costs as a percentage of microgrid cost as a function of microgrid capacity. With the exception of the outliers identified in Figure A-7., soft costs generally follow a downward trend as microgrid capacity increases.
