Get StartedAlthough there is a range of alternatives, electrochemical batteries seem best suited to microgrids due to their maturity, technical requirements, cost-effectiveness, fast deployment, limited spatial requirements, and modularity.
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.
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.
Microgrids are small-scale energy systems with distributed energy resources, such as generators and storage systems, and controllable loads forming an electrical entity within defined electrical limits. These systems can be deployed in either low voltage or high voltage and can operate independently of the main grid if necessary .
However, increasingly, microgrids are being based on energy storage systems combined with renewable energy sources (solar, wind, small hydro), usually backed up by a fossil fuel-powered generator. The main advantage of a microgrid: higher reliability.
Lithium batteries are the most widely used energy storage devices in mobile and computing applications. The development of new materials has led to an increased energy density reaching 200 Wh/kg and a longer lifespan with 10,000 cycles. They also have an insignificant memory effect and low self-discharge rates.
