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.
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.
The energy storage system can sufficiently alleviate the shortage of new energy such as photovoltaic/wind that is greatly affected by the environment. Higher-capacity lithium-ion batteries and higher-power supercapacitors (SCs) are considered ideal energy storage systems for direct current (DC) microgrids, and their energy management is critical.
Microgrid control systems: typically, microgrids are managed through a central controller that coordinates distributed energy resources, balances electrical loads, and is responsible for disconnection and reconnection of the microgrid to the main grid. Load: the amount of electricity consumed by customers.
The microgrid hybrid energy storage system has both the microgrid topology and the storage system while energy needs to be controlled, and its operation control strategy is suitable for the combination of the above two methods [ 16 ].
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.

What Is a Microgrid?
Unlike traditional centralized systems, microgrids also have a multi-directional flow that can move power in more ways than one — from microgrid to consumer, main grid or battery storage and back again. For example, users can generate power from their rooftops and feed it into the microgrid, rather than only having power move into their homes.
