The possibility of applying combined heat and power microgrid model for industrial parks. A case study for Dong Nam industrial park in Vietnam

Microgrid systems that combine cooling, heating and power (CHP) with distributed cogeneration units and renewable energy sources are a practical way to meet the growing need for energy, and industrial parks have enormous potential for the development of integrated electrical and thermal systems. This paper presents a microgrid CHP model and evaluates the possibility of developing the model in the Dong Nam industrial park in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. HOMER software was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the model.
