Batteries, energy management, microgridAbstract
As the utilization of renewable energy continues to grow, microgrids have played a vital role in their generation. Batteries have emerged as the most commonly utilized storage system to effectively store this energy. This paper proposes a novel approach to manage energy consumption at the Centre for the Development of Renewable Energy (CEDER) by leveraging both lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries. This computer-based management system controls the flow of energy that can be charged or discharged in 15-minute intervals. By optimizing the use of both battery types, the energy consumption of CEDER has been reduced by an estimated 90 to 200 kWh, depending on the specific case study.
