[size=1.085em]ABSTRACTEconomic, technology and environmental incentives are changing the features of electricity generation andtransmission. Centralized power systems are giving way to local scale distributed generations. At present, there is a need to assess the effects of large numbers of distributed generators and short-term storage in Microgrid. To accommodate the high demand of renewable energy and the environment policy, the planning and operationof Micro-source generators has been studied using HOMER. Simulation results show a case study of an optimalmicrogrid configuration on Ontario area in Canada. Sensitivity variables are specified to examine the effect of uncertainties (e.g. diesel price and average wind speed), especially in a long-term planning. The effect of air emission penalties on Microgrid planning is also well presented.
