For example, if a battery is replaced when it falls to 80% of original capacity and microgrid operation requires a certain battery capacity, the battery must initially be oversized by 25% to maintain the desired capacity at the end of the battery’s life.
Because of the fundamental uncertainties inherent in microgrid design and operation, researchers have created battery and microgrid models of varying levels of complexity, depending upon the purpose for which the model will be used.
Appropriate sizing of microgrid components, that is, number and size of PV modules, batteries, DGs and associated power electronic devices determines the efficient and economic design of the microgrid. There are numerous sizing approaches available in the literature, which are subjective to the requirements of the microgrid operator.
Though the optimal sizing of a microgrid is essential for ensuring its optimal operation (both from technical and economic aspects), there is no reported framework or guideline for approaching the problem.
In order to overcome the problems associated with the intermittency of solar PV and enhance the reliability, energy storage systems like batteries and/or backup systems like diesel generators are commonly included in the microgrids [11, 12].
From the economic point of view, the acquisition cost of the components of the microgrid is the sole reason for the high initial cost, which is expected to reduce due to the continued improvements in the efficiency of solar PV systems, inverters and battery energy storage systems.
