Can batteries be used in a microgrid system?

This section describes the performance of the batteries in various microgrid systems having different load scenarios. The proposed microgrid system comprises different power generators (PV, WTG, and DG/BDG), converters and batteries for energy storage. The systems have been developed and investigated using HOMER-2018 (13.11.3) Pro edition software.

Why are battery and microgrid models so complex?

Because of the fundamental uncertainties inherent in microgrid design and operation, researchers have created battery and microgrid models of varying levels of complexity, depending upon the purpose for which the model will be used.

What is a lead-acid battery?

A bank of lead-acid batteries is currently being used to store the surplus energy generated by the photovoltaic arrangement and meet the demand during the night and compensate for the intermittency and load variations of the photovoltaic generation.

What are the optimal results of an AC microgrid system?

The optimal results of an AC microgrid system having PV, WTG and DG are shown in Fig. 9, Fig. 10, Fig. 11, Fig. 12. The viable and optimum solutions are ranked on the basis of TNPC, COE and the best result in case-1 comprises a system with 300 kW of PV, twenty units of 1 kW WTG each, 105 kW DG and a 103 kW converter unit.

How battery bank affect the Coe of a microgrid system?

In this case, also, the type of battery bank has an impact on the COE of the microgrid system. The system with Li-ion batteries provides electricity at 0.122 $/kWh, whereas the system having LA batteries as a storage provides electricity at 0.128 $/kWh. The components that require replacement are the battery bank and converter units.

How much power does a microgrid use?

For all scenarios discussed in this paper, the load and PV power inputs are eighteen days of actual 1-min resolution data from an existing microgrid system on an island in Southeast Asia, though any load profile can be used in ESM. The load has an average power of 81 kW, a maximum of 160 kW, and a minimum of 41 kW.
