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.
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 optimal microgrid system, identified by ESM system optimization under various constraints and using the base-case values for all parameters. The “perfect” PV/battery system has the same constraints as the PV/battery system except that the PV output is a nearly perfect, cloudless pattern for the entire duration of the modeled period.
The effectiveness and efficiency of small-scale Microgrid systems depend on the hybrid network strategy that combines renewable and other sources of energy. This strategy has been used in various sectors such as commercial, industrial, military, rural, and isolated communities.
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.
