In this article, operating cost of isolated microgrid is reduced by economic scheduling considering the optimal size of the battery. However, deep discharge shortens the lifetime of battery operation. Therefore, the real time battery operation cost is modeled considering the depth of discharge at each time interval.
The optimal battery capacity results in longer lifetime in comparison to other battery capacities and the conventional method . Thus, the optimal size and the economic scheduling may prolong the battery lifetime and reduce the microgrid cost. Fig 13. DOD curves of different battery sizes. Table 7.
The above-mentioned power management strategy is implemented to obtain an optimal battery size and daily economic scheduling of microgrid. The capital cost of battery constitutes a major factor in calculating the battery size. The optimal BESS sizing is obtained by minimizing the daily scheduling cost of the microgrid and BESS total cost per day.
