In a microgrid, energy storage performs multiple functions, such as ensuring power quality, performing frequency and voltage regulation, smoothing the output of renewable energy sources, providing backup power for the system, and playing a crucial role in cost optimization.
A microgrid is a small electricity generation and distribution system containing distributed generation, energy storage systems, loads and monitoring and protection devices. It is an autonomous system that is self-controlled and self-managed. An energy microgrid provides users thermal energy for heating and cooling in addition to electricity.
This research focuses on multi-microgrid energy management. There are two strategies for energy management in networked microgrids: competitive and collaborative strategies. In competitive strategies, each entity has an operator that tries to optimize its objective.
Microgrid energy services can provide various energy services such as processing, ice production, entertainment (radio/TV/DVD), comfort and productivity (fans, refrigeration, irons), and more.
