Towards energy independence at KENTECH: A comprehensive microgrid implementation roadmap.
Review in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This paper introduces a comprehensive microgrid roadmap for the Korea Institute of Energy Technology (KENTECH), an energy specialized institute in South Korea, aligning with the country's overarching objective of achieving carbon neutrality by the year 2050. The roadmap outlines the integration of diverse energy resources-primarily renewables-to enhance sustainability and energy efficiency on campus. The paper also describes key elements for achieving autonomous energy operations through advanced technologies such as energy management systems, network gateways for system interoperability, static transfer switches, intelligent electronic devices, and power condition systems. It also presents details on our microgrid management system and customized data collection platform that acquires data from internet of things devices, advanced metering infrastructure, and automated revenue measurement. Additionally, by using a stochastic two-stage optimization model, we evaluate 1,320 scenarios to identify the optimal energy mix, focusing on the integration of renewable sources. Our findings reveal that a 15 MW solar capacity, coupled with an advanced energy storage system (ESS), can significantly enhance energy self-sufficiency, achieving up to 100% self-sufficiency in specific scenarios. The study demonstrates that increasing the solar installation from 5 MW to 15 MW, while integrating ESS, reduces dependency on imported power by 35% and enhances operational efficiency. Moreover, the optimization model indicates a potential 15% reduction in operational costs when demand response strategies are effectively implemented, particularly during peak activities. Furthermore, the microgrid design is projected to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 60%, contributing to KENTECH's role as a leader in sustainable energy management. These results highlight the roadmap's capability to transform KENTECH into a model of energy independence, with significant implications for similar institutions globally.
