“…It is worth that this benefit has a strong dependence on the utility's cost structure, planning projects and infrastructure. In [37] it is shown that low density of microgeneration has a greater positive impact on this benefit. This is thanks to the complementarity between production patterns, which increase energy availability.…”

To identify the role and importance of local renewable energy resource integration on power distribution systems, this work presents a survey on how Active Distribution Systems capture benefits from this kind of energy resources. Also, this paper introduces the basic concepts of two economics tools that can help in the environmental valuation of local renewable energy projects, along with a discussion on the role of energy currencies in the development of renewable energy. As a conclusion, thanks to the advent of concepts such as "prosumer" and emergent technologies such as digital currencies, it is possible to achieve financial and economic viability for local renewable energy projects with the aid of Active Distribution Networks.

“…For optimal allocation of DG in distribution networks, different objectives such as power loss minimization [6][7][8][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26], improvement of voltage profile [6,13,23,26], network investment cost minimization [4,9,10], reduction of environmental impact [6], etc. were proposed by researchers using single or multi objective problem formulation.…”

“…In fact, the distributed generation approach has several benefits over the others, such as: 1) reduction of transmission and distribution costs: about the 30% of the costs related to electricity supply relates to these costs. Local connections do not generate high capital costs and energy losses for long distances to be wired with overhead facilities; 2) decrease of energy dissipation: piping and conversion devices dissipate almost 6% of produced energy, [4] increasing costs and emissions; in a smart grid, these kinds of losses are avoided; 3) increase of energy efficiency: the simultaneous supply of electrical and thermal demand allow to reduce energy waste, improving system global efficiency; since thermal energy is less easily transported than electricity, distributed generation approach (production close to users) is essential. Because of mentioned benefits deregulation has evolved in all three sectors of the power system (i.e.…”

“…From a number of recent publications [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9], it can be seen that in a deregulated power system, each individual distribution company may wish to determine the costs and benefits of DG planning under different circumstances. It is difficult to find a single planning method that satisfies all objectives simultaneously.…”

Iran's removing subsidy from energy carrier in four years ago leads to spike electricity price dramatically. This abrupt change increases the interest on distributed generation (DG) because of its several benefits such as lower electricity generation price. In Iran among all type of DGs, because of wide natural gas network infrastructure and several incentives that government legislated to support combined cooling, heat and power (CCHP) investors, this type of technology is more prevalent in comparison with other technologies. Between existing CCHP technologies, certain economic choices are to be taken into account. For different buildings with different load curves, suitable size and operation of CCHP should be calculated to make the project more feasible. If CCHP does not well suited for a position, then the whole energy efficiency would be plunged significantly. In this paper, a model to find the optimal size and operation of CCHP and auxiliary boiler for any users is proposed by considering an integrated view of electricity and natural gas network using GAMS software. Then this method is applying for a hospital in Tehran as a real case study. Finally, by applying COMFAR III software, useful financial parameters and sensitivity analysis are calculated.
