Resilience and Economics of Microgrids with PV, Battery Storage, and Networked Diesel Generators
Current designs and assessments of microgrids have ignored component reliability, leading to significant errors in predicting a microgrid's performance while islanded. Existing life cycle cost studies on hybrid microgrids—which combine photovoltaics (PV), battery storage and net...
