The number of connections with distributed generation has been growing steadily in Brazil, however, there is still a problem associated with it, the intermittence. Although a consumer with photovoltaic solar system (PVSS) is able to generate energy even when the grid is unavailable, the load is still susceptible to power outages given the intermittence of the source, one possible solution for this is the use of energy storage elements to supply part of the load, or even all of it when needed. In this study is analyzed, under the economic viability point of view, the impact of using a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) coupled with a PVSS to supply a residential consumer in the event of power outages.

In microgrid operation, one of the most vital tasks of the system control is to wiselydecide between selling excess power to the local grid or charge the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). Our study uses Mixed-Integer Linear Programming to investigate the impact of storage system on the operational cost of a microgrid. The results suggested that the presence of BESS would relieve the pressure on the utility grid but not the cost of electricity due to the expensive nature of the storage plant. In view of this, it will be more beneficial to sell excess renewable generated power to the utility grid than to invest in a storage system for larger microgrids.

The connection of distributed generation (DG) and a battery energy storage system (BESS) in distribution systems has recently been increasing. However, little research has been conducted on the reclosing of the distribution system when both the DG and BESS are connected. Therefore, this paper proposes a new reclosing method for a distribution system with a DG and BESS. The proposed method also has a circuit breaker (CB) installed in the distribution line. A CB close to the DG and BESS is first reclosed after a fixed dead time and, then, the fault clearance is detected using the current flowing to the fault point. Once the fault is cleared, the reclosing of the CB at the source side is attempted after completing a synchronism check. The proposed method is modeled using an electromagnetic transient program. We perform various simulations according to the capacities of the DG and the fault clearance time, and analyze the simulation results. The simulation results show that steady-state power is supplied to the load from the DG and BESS before reclosing to prevent outage, and that the reclosing is successfully performed.
