Abstract

Energy storage systems are an effective solution to manage the intermittency of renewable energies, balance supply, and demand. Numerous studies recommend adopting a shared energy storage system (ESS) as opposed to multiple single ESSs because of their high prices and inefficiency. Thus, this study examines a shared storage system in a grid-connected microgrid. By modifying the power outputs of the energy resources, this work intends to implement an economic dispatch of a shared ESS in order to satisfy the power balance and lower the overall cost of electricity. In this context, an optimization problem was formulated and developed using a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model. Furthermore, a pilot project (the Solar Decathlon Africa Village) in the Green & Smart Building Park (GSBP), Benguerir, Morocco, was employed to evaluate and verify the proposed approach. Some comparable scenarios were therefore run in a MATLAB environment. The collected findings demonstrate the efficacy of the developed algorithm in terms of optimizing energy cost reductions and enhancing the integration of renewable resources into the Moroccan energy mix.
