Impact of Battery Aging Model in an Energy Management System for an Isolated Solar Microgrid
Abstract
Battery aging is an important issue that should be considered in the battery modelling. This is paramount when the battery is part of an isolated microgrid, being this a component with an important investment and replacement cost. In this work, three published aging models are included in a microgrid Energy Management System. The performance of these models is compared. The results show the economic benefits of including the battery aging model into the Energy Management System. The Energy Management System with the Copetti and Chenlo aging model has the best performance compared to the other aging models.
