A disconnect between real world financing and technical modeling remains one of the largest barriers to widespread adoption of microgrid technologies. Simultaneously, the optimal design of a microgrid is influenced by financial as well as technical considerations. This paper articulates the interplay between financial and technical assumptions for the optimal design of microgrids and introduces a design approach in which two financing structures drive an efficient design process. This approach is demonstrated on a descriptive test case, using well accepted financial indicators to convey project success. The major outcome of this paper is to provide a framework which can be adopted by the industry to relieve one of the largest hurdles to widespread adoption, while introducing multiple debt financing models to the literature on microgrid design and optimization. An equally important outcome from the test case, we provide several points of intuition on the impact of varying financing terms on the optimal solution.

项目融资对优化微电网设计的影响

现实世界融资和技术建模之间的脱节仍然是广泛采用微电网技术的最大障碍之一。同时，微电网的优化设计受到财务和技术考虑的影响。本文阐述了微电网优化设计的财务和技术假设之间的相互作用，并介绍了一种设计方法，其中两种融资结构推动有效的设计过程。这种方法在一个描述性测试案例中得到演示，使用广为接受的财务指标来传达项目的成功。本文的主要成果是提供一个框架，业界可以采用该框架来消除广泛采用的最大障碍之一，同时将多种债务融资模型引入微电网设计和优化的文献中。测试案例的一个同样重要的结果是，我们提供了关于不同融资条款对最佳解决方案的影响的几个直觉点。
