Abstract In this study, an islanded microgrid system is proposed that integrates identical stacks of solid oxide fuel cell and electrolyzer to achieve a thermally self-sustained energy storage system. Thermal management of the SOEC is achieved by use of heat from the SOFC with a heat exchanger network and control strategies. While the SOFC meets the building electricity demand and heat from its electrochemical reactions is transferred to the SOEC for endothermic heat and standby demands. Each component is physically modelled in Simulink and ultimately integrated at the system level for dynamic analyses. The current work simulates a system comprised of a wind farm in Palm Springs, CA coupled with the SOEC (for H2 generation), and an industrial building powered by the SOFC. Results from two-weeks of operation using measured building and wind data showed that despite fluctuating power profiles, average temperature and local temperature gradients of both the SOEC and SOFC were within desired tolerances. However, for severe conditions of wind power deficit, H2 had to be supplied from previous windy days’ storage or imported.

Nowadays, distributed generators in Microgrids (MG) are developed to exploit the clean and renewable energy from nature, such as solar irradiation, wind power, tidal wave, etc. Accordingly, an Aggregate Battery Energy Storage System (ABESS) is implemented to achieve the stability and reliability of MG. To be clearly decribed, the ABESS will play a main role as a power controller in supply-demand operation of MG. In order to demonstrate significance and importance of ABESS in the MG, its operation reliability will be introduced in this paper. The authors will use an analytical methodology based on Markov models to assess the operation reliability of the whole ABESS under dynamic operation cases. According to dynamic operation cases of MG with the ABESS and Photovoltaic Generation System (PVS), the failure rate of the ABESS is different. Simulations and test results are presented and discussed to prove that the operation reliability of the ABESS in the MG significantly depends on different dynamic operation along with the voltage dynamic and power loss.
