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, it can 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.
By generating and storing energy locally, microgrids empower communities to become less reliant on the main power grid. This energy independence can lead to cost savings and improved energy security.
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.
Normally the energy storage system, as the master power source of the microgrid, works at the V/ f status and balances the power of distributed power sources and loads. 3.
