Another use case for battery storage on microgrids is aggregating BESS as a virtual power plant (VPP) to correct imbalances in the utility grid. At the grid level, when the supply of power from renewables temporarily drops, utilities need to respond quickly to maintain equilibrium between supply and demand and stabilize the grid frequency.
The future of energy is here: microgrids and demand-side flexibility programs continue to usher in innovations that trend toward a better tomorrow. Here are the top trends we expect to see in demand-side flexibility programs and microgrids in 2024:
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are the most highly developed option in size, performance, and cost. A broad ecosystem of manufacturers, system integrators, and complete system providers supports Li-ion technology. However, the vendors best equipped to bring value to microgrids bring the right components to each project.
Regulators are recognizing the opportunity. Federal, state, and other regulations now allow or require the inclusion of microgrid battery storage as a rapidly deployed buffer against utility grid disruptions. Technology continues to make the BESS story more compelling.
Volatile energy markets, utility grid disruptions, and the rising awareness of climate change have created new energy challenges that require innovative answers. As a result, many organizations are embracing microgrids as a solution to the mounting problems.
As a reference, we can consider the definition given by the Consortium for Electric Reliability Technology Solutions (CERTS) , where a microgrid is: “a cluster of loads and micro-sources operating as a single controllable system that provides both power and heat to its local area”.
