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.
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.
... The integration of battery energy storage systems with photovoltaic systems to form renewable microgrids has become more practical and reliable, but designing these systems involves complexity and relies on connection standards and operational requirements for reliable and safe grid-connected operations.
MGs are a set of decentralized and intelligent energy distribution networks, which possess specific characteristics critical to the evolution of energy systems . There exist several definitions of microgrid in the scientific literature , , , .
For example, if a battery is replaced when it falls to 80% of original capacity and microgrid operation requires a certain battery capacity, the battery must initially be oversized by 25% to maintain the desired capacity at the end of the battery’s life.
Isolated microgrids can be of any size depending on the power loads. In this sense, MGs are made up of an interconnected group of distributed energy resources (DER), including grouping battery energy storage systems (BESS) and loads.
