The California site has the largest sizing of PV and battery due to significant value from retail bill savings, demand response, and wholesale markets. The value achieved by the addition of PV and battery is large enough to offset the added cost of the microgrid, and this is the only site to have a positive net present value.
For example, if a battery is replaced when it falls to 80% of original capacity and microgrid operation requires a certain battery capacity, the battery must initially be oversized by 25% to maintain the desired capacity at the end of the battery’s life.
The hybrid microgrid consists of networked diesel generators, PV panels, and battery storage. To calculate the expected performance of the backup system for a given outage, we first determine the initial probabilities of being in each system state, which is dependent on the number of working generators and the battery initial state of charge (SOC).
For all scenarios discussed in this paper, the load and PV power inputs are eighteen days of actual 1-min resolution data from an existing microgrid system on an island in Southeast Asia, though any load profile can be used in ESM. The load has an average power of 81 kW, a maximum of 160 kW, and a minimum of 41 kW.
Because of the fundamental uncertainties inherent in microgrid design and operation, researchers have created battery and microgrid models of varying levels of complexity, depending upon the purpose for which the model will be used.
The control system for the smaller microgrid will likely cost less in real dollars but consume more of the overall project budget than the control system for the larger one. “Your control system may be a little less [costly] in smaller ones, but it’s going to be a much larger portion of the cost than in the larger one.

Consider an 80 kW and an 800 KW microgrid, both directing similar configurations: a solar array, two gas-fired generators and energy storage. The control system for the smaller microgrid will likely cost less in real dollars but consume more of the overall project budget than the control system for the larger one.
The model suggests that AHI-based diesel generator/photovoltaic (PV)/battery systems are often more cost-effective than PbA-based systems by an average of around 10%, even though the...
The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) is around A$0.17/kWh with DG and around A$0.20/kWh without DG across climate scenarios. The building microgrid without DG …

According to NREL, community microgrids have the lowest mean cost, at $2.1 million/MW of DERs installed. The utility and campus markets have mean costs of $2.6 million/MW and $3.3 million/MW, respectively and …
ESM adds several important aspects of battery modeling, including temperature effects, rate-based variable efficiency, and operational modeling of capacity fade and we demonstrate that addition of these factors can significantly alter optimal system design, levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), and other factors.
The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) is around A$0.17/kWh with DG and around A$0.20/kWh without DG across climate scenarios. The building microgrid without DG demonstrates a robust reliability, with approximately 10% more probability of surviving outages than the microgrid with DG.
According to NREL, community microgrids have the lowest mean cost, at $2.1 million/MW of DERs installed. The utility and campus markets have mean costs of $2.6 million/MW and $3.3 million/MW, respectively and the commercial market has the highest average cost, at $4 million/MW.
