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.
The energy management strategy for the proposed hybrid microgrid system. The proposed energy management system in this work includes four modes of controlling the system’s behavior in response to changes in energy supply and demand. 1.
In microgrids, batteries play an important role in supplying power when other power sources are insufficient, such as solar power and wind speed.
Finally, Borhanazad et al. used the multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) algorithm to create a microgrid network plan that uses wind and solar power as the main energy sources, a battery bank to store any excess energy produced, and a diesel generator for emergency situations.
An energy management strategy (EMS) was proposed to control energy flow through the Microgrid system, and an analysis was performed on real data of solar radiation, wind speed, and temperature collected from the Biskra region in southern Algeria.
As a reference, we can consider the definition given by the Consortium for Electric Reliability Technology Solutions (CERTS) , where a microgrid is: “a cluster of loads and micro-sources operating as a single controllable system that provides both power and heat to its local area”.
