Learn MoreThis section describes the performance of the batteries in various microgrid systems having different load scenarios. The proposed microgrid system comprises different power generators (PV, WTG, and DG/BDG), converters and batteries for energy storage. The systems have been developed and investigated using HOMER-2018 (13.11.3) Pro edition software.
Microgrid comprises renewable power generators with the battery storage system as power backup. In case of grid-connected microgrid, energy storage medium has considerable impact on the performance of the microgrid. Lithium-ion (LI) and lead-acid (LA) batteries have shown useful applications for energy storage system in a microgrid.
The results provide the feasibility and economic benefits of LI battery over the LA battery. The levelized cost of electricity are found to be ₹ 10.6 and ₹ 6.75 for LA and LI batteries respectively for energy storage application in the microgrid. Microgrid comprises renewable power generators with the battery storage system as power backup.
Considering various factors obtained from the studies carried out, it can be concluded that lithium-ion batteries should be recommended as an alternative viable solution over lead-acid batteries in various applications of future electric power systems.
In this case, also, the type of battery bank has an impact on the COE of the microgrid system. The system with Li-ion batteries provides electricity at 0.122 $/kWh, whereas the system having LA batteries as a storage provides electricity at 0.128 $/kWh. The components that require replacement are the battery bank and converter units.
During night, when PV power is not available, the battery bank gives power to the load. However, if both PV and batteries storage system are not sufficient to fulfill the demand, then grid mains provides extra power. Therefore, for the given microgrid the power purchased from the grid is considered for both the batteries.
