This 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.
In a standalone microgrid system, prolonging the life of the equipment is necessary to reduce the cost of its replacement. However, the size and installation costs of the storage systems must be appropriate. Therefore, this paper provides an appropriate weighting to minimize the cost of the microgrid system.
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.
Economic modelling The economic feasibility of the proposed microgrid systems under study has been evaluated on the basis of the per-unit cost of energy (COE), and the total net present cost (TNPC) of the whole system.
