Energy is tightly linked with societal development in all levels: residential, industrial, transportation, public services, and military infrastructures. Smart energy grid infrastructures with distributed energy resources technologies will ensure cheap, clean, reliable, and high efficient energy systems, while achieving energy conservation. Microgrid concept was introduced to facilitate the integration of renewable energy technologies and operate as grid-connected and islanded modes, which should cover local energy needs. However, there are performance challenges due to the integration of renewable technologies. The concept of Micro Energy Grid (MEG) is introduced to integrate energy thermal, electricity, fuel, with water and transportation, as well as other energy production and supply chains to maximize the overall performance. This includes Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems with different fuel strategies such as hydrogen, natural gas, with different integration scenarios using fuel cell and gas turbine. Due to the variation of energy resources availability in different local regions/zones, it is important to support energy exchange among interconnected MEGs with local and global performance optimization.
