Batteries can provide several benefits to a microgrid. Traditional generation sources such as diesel or gas generators do not have an instantaneous capability of responding to sudden load changes, and this latency in generator response can impact system frequency, which in turn affects utilization equipment at the building level.
To ensure the reliable operation of a microgrid during utility grid outage or non-availability of intermittent Renewable Energy Sources (RES), it is significant to operate the BESS with the local VS to dispatch the stored energy.
In comparison, if the microgrid is simply a new control system to integrate existing equipment, the process could be much shorter and not as complex. Construction requirements and submittals should be discussed and clarified together by the government and the contractor before the start of construction.
