To address the energy demands of a given geographical region or community, DERs are frequently incorporated into systems such as solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, wind turbines, energy-storage systems (ESS), and demand response mechanisms. Energy–storage (ES) devices in MGs play a critical role in providing backup energy for RESs.
The mix of energy sources depends on the specific energy needs and requirements of the microgrid. [2] Energy Storage: Energy storage systems, such as batteries, are an important component of microgrids, allowing energy to be stored for times when it is not being generated. This helps to ensure a stable and reliable source of energy, even when
