Abstract: This study deals with the optimization of battery energy storage system (BESS) data in terms of significant characteristics of life and efficiency, and their positive impacts on power system efficiency in the presence of wind power plants in a microgrid. To this end, a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) is used to convert the wind energy by connecting a three-phase dynamic load to the grid. The main novelty of the proposed method is designing a smart backup battery branch to improve the efficiency of the wind farm by maintaining the operating constraints even during the occurrence of harsh faults in the generation section. Additionally, for the first time, the characteristics of the BESS are optimized using nine evolutionary algorithms, including the genetic algorithm (GA), teaching–learning-based optimization (TLBO), particle swarm optimization (PSO), gravitational search algorithm (GSA), artificial bee colony (ABC), differential evolution (DE), grey wolf optimizer (GWO), moth–flame optimization algorithm (MFO), and sine cosine algorithm (SCA), and the results are compared with each other. The simulation results of a case study confirm the robustness of the proposed control strategy for the BESS.
