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 growing adoption of renewable energy technologies, such as solar panels, wind turbines, and geothermal systems, is increasingly powering and heating buildings, with the microgrid concept being applied to both residential and commercial properties, as reviewed in Table 1. Table 1. Overview of the reviewed literature.
2.1. System Description The microgrid system powering a municipal office building comprises three key elements: two wind turbines, a water electrolyzer, and an MGT, collectively providing electricity and heat. The wind turbines act as the primary electricity source, with surplus energy directed to the water electrolyzer for hydrogen production.
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.
The Inflation Reduction Act incentivizes large-scale battery storage projects. And California regulations now require energy storage for newly constructed commercial buildings. The same microgrid-based BESS can serve either or both of these use cases.
In comparing the optimized operation of the microgrid in grid mode with and without hydrogen storage, the case with storage is €13 less profitable but retains a saved energy amount of 5.4 kg in the form of hydrogen for the next week.
