This project aimed to grow the research community and enhance the capability in the planning, operation and management of multi-energy microgrids (MEMGs) for APEC economies, which can facilitate the goal of doubling the share of renewables in the APEC energy mix from 2010 level by 2030.

With the support of the cloud-based MEMG sharing platform, as well as the distributed generation and lab facilities in Tianjin University, the research was carried out to develop related techniques, management strategies, software, standards and policy recommendations. Insights gathered from this project will be considered to enhance technological progress of renewable energy in the APEC region, to grow the market for MEMGs through public and private sector actions, to meet APEC’s future energy supply, resiliency, and climate change goals and to guide the public authorities’ future electric pricing and incentive programs for MEMGs.
