Abstract

Given the international focus on microgrids, smart communities and smart city developments, this paper presents the first large-scale fully integrated net-zero energy (NZE) smart community under development in Canada, which creates a showcase for sustainable design and draws society to participate; with the overall goal of developing a new community with minimal impact on the environment. The conceptual microgrid design considerations are illustrated along with discussions and analyses of feasibility indicators such as energy efficiency, system flexibility, renewables penetration, and GHG emission reduction.
