This work was supported by Princess Sumaya University for Technology (Grant (10) 9-2023/2024). The successful integration of battery energy storage systems (BESSs) is crucial for enhancing the resilience and performance of microgrids (MGs) and power systems.
With regard to the off-grid operation, the energy storage system has considerable importance in the microgrid. The ESS mainly provides frequency regulation, backup power and resilience features.
Firstly, effective design and control strategies are crucial for optimizing the operation of microgrid's and maximizing their economic and energy management potential. Secondly, the integration of renewable energy sources and energy storage systems can significantly enhance the reliability and resilience of microgrid's.
Microgrids are small-scale energy systems with distributed energy resources, such as generators and storage systems, and controllable loads forming an electrical entity within defined electrical limits. These systems can be deployed in either low voltage or high voltage and can operate independently of the main grid if necessary .
By integrating controlled source-load, represented by virtual energy storage, into the energy storage control system of the DC microgrid, it becomes possible to achieve co-optimization of source-load-energy storage . This is accomplished by combining flexible resources with the virtual energy storage system (VESS) .
However, increasingly, microgrids are being based on energy storage systems combined with renewable energy sources (solar, wind, small hydro), usually backed up by a fossil fuel-powered generator. The main advantage of a microgrid: higher reliability.
