Can battery energy storage reduce microgrid operating costs?
By adding battery energy storage (BES) to a microgrid and proper battery charge and discharge management, the microgrid operating costs can be significantly reduced. But energy storage costs are added to the microgrid costs, and energy storage size must be determined in a way that minimizes the total operating costs and energy storage costs.
How much battery storage does a microgrid use?
The battery storage used in the microgrid operation is assumed to be initially charged at 75% SOC. Fig 5. Renewable energy and load data for a day. The proposed strategy is implemented based on the three cases below and the operating cost is computed in each case. The microgrid is operated without the energy storage.
Why is energy storage important in a microgrid?
The addition of energy storage in the microgrid increases capital cost, but also reduces the operating cost of system. Moreover, optimal size of the battery prolongs the lifetime of the storage system and it is significantly affected by the DOD.
How does energy storage size affect microgrid costs?
As shown in Fig. 1, increasing energy storage size reduces operating costs. But the cost of energy storage increases. The total microgrid costs are minimized for optimal battery size , . Fig. 1. Optimal BES sizing .
How many cycles can a battery deliver to a microgrid?
At 60 % depth of discharge, the number of cycles is more, but in each cycle, only 60 % of the battery capacity can be delivered to the microgrid. At 100 % depth of discharge, the number of cycles is less, but the battery can deliver all its energy to the microgrid in each cycle. Fig. 5.
How to determine the optimal battery size in a microgrid?
The genetic algorithm (GA) based method to determine the optimal battery size has been presented in . The proposed method uses the fuzzy expert system to regulate the power flow of the energy storage. A lifetime aging model predicts the lifetime and operating cost of the microgrid.
