The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to the Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC) to develop a cloud-based tool to facilitate the completion of feasibility analyses for combined heat and power (CHP) based district energy systems (DES), as well as microgrid systems. The tool would enable users to assess the integration of CHP technologies, renewable energy sources, and thermal energy storage into new and existing DES and microgrid systems.
