deployment of microgrids. Microgrids offer greater opportunities for mitigate the energy demand reliably and affordably. However, there are still challenging. Nevertheless, the ene rgy storage system is proposed as a promising solution to overcome the aforementioned challenges. 1. Introduction power grid.
Microgrids are a means of deploying a decentralized and decarbonized grid. One of their key features is the extensive presence of renewable-based generation, which is intermittent by nature. Because of this kind of variability, the application of appropriate energy storage systems is mandatory.
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.
Concerning the storage needs of microgrids, electrochemical technologies seem more adapted to this kind of application. They are competitive and available in the market, as well as having an acceptable degree of cost-effectiveness, good power, and energy densities, and maturity. The modularity of electrochemical technologies is another advantage.
