Model a Microgrid?

Hi All,

Any recommendations on modeling microgrids? I'm looking for a feasibility level of modeling, not a detailed electrical systems model.

I want to help a client look at balancing PV, batteries, nat gas generators. Possibly also look at economics of entering frequency regulation market.

I have a little familiarity with NREL's SAM tool. Are there building modeling tools that have integrated something like this?

Thanks! Graham
