Abstract:
The integration of batteries as a pivotal component of microgrids represents a transformative shift in energy management and distribution. Batteries, serving as critical energy storage systems, enhance the resilience, reliability, and sustainability of microgrids by enabling efficient energy storage and distribution. This paper explores the multifaceted role of batteries within microgrids, emphasizing their ability to store excess renewable energy, manage peak demand, and provide backup power during grid outages. Through a comprehensive analysis of current technologies, economic viability, and environmental impact, this study highlights the benefits and challenges associated with the deployment of battery systems in microgrids. Furthermore, it examines case studies from diverse geographic regions to illustrate the practical applications and advantages of battery-integrated microgrids in promoting energy independence and sustainability.
