Applications of Energy Storage Systems in Enhancing Energy Management and Access in Microgrids: A Review1. Introduction At present, microgrids (MGs) and nanogrids (NGs) are becoming increasingly important in current power systems, due to several aspects, such as resilience, renewable energy integration, energy efficiency, cost savings, and energy access [1, 2].
The energy storage system enhances the ability of the microgrid to balance the power supply-demand relationship between distributed generation and load, effectively reducing adverse impact of wind generation, PV generation, and other intermittent power supplies, while scaling up grid connection capacity of renewable energy.
This paper provides a critical review of the existing energy storage technologies, focusing mainly on mature technologies. Their feasibility for microgrids is investigated in terms of cost, technical benefits, cycle life, ease of deployment, energy and power density, cycle life, and operational constraints.
While a microgrid is in the on-grid mode, itcan receive energy from the main grid, and the energy storage system should make the longest cycle life as its optimal goal, and choose the appropriate type of energy storage system according to the maximum power and fluctuation of PV/wind power.
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.
As discussed in the earlier sections, some features are preferred when deploying energy storage systems in microgrids. These include energy density, power density, lifespan, safety, commercial availability, and financial/ technical feasibility. Lead-acid batteries have lower energy and power densities than other electrochemical devices.
Structure of typical microgrid energy management system. A microgrid has two operation modes, namely on-grid and off-grid operation. When a microgrid is detected to be islanding, or it needs to operate independently according to prevailing situation, it should rapidly disconnect from the public grid to switch into the off-grid operation mode.
