Abstract: Energy storage plays a crucial role in ensuring reliable power supply in a renewable microgrid. The supply and demand variability is found in different time scales (i.e., instantaneous, diurnal, and seasonal). The nominal discharge duration of multiple storage options can be matched effectively for variability in all relevant time scales. An optimum mix of storage options is important to design a cost-effective system.
