abstract = "In this work we develop a process to size the renewable energy system that can power a microgrid community. We begin by collecting the community's varying load, location dependent data, and commercially available generation types. According to rules of thumb and relevant physics equations, we then recommended the quantity and configuration of each generation component. Finally, we combine the design suggestions into a hybrid energy system that is simulated and analyzed in TRNSYS. Hence we have created a sizing methodology that determines the best configuration and type of generation components for a microgrid to achieve net-zero energy.",
