Hybrid micro grids with multi-storage integration: Optimization and power management for sustainable communities
Abstract
The increasing deployment of photovoltaic and wind energy systems introduces challenges in supply continuity and reliability due to the intermittent nature of renewable energies. Hybrid microgrids integrating multiple renewable sources and energy storage technologies offer a promising solution for sustainable community power supply. In this paper, we present a hybrid microgrid combining photovoltaic (PV), wind turbines, batteries, and fuel cells, employing an optimized power management control strategy to coordinate energy flows and maintain system stability. Simulation under diverse weather and load profiles demonstrates effective load tracking, battery state-of-charge regulation, and enhanced system resilience. The proposed multi-storage architecture mitigates renewable intermittency, extends autonomy, and preserves component lifespan. These findings suggest that integrating complementary storage technologies with advanced control can improve the reliability and sustainability of autonomous microgrids for remote and rural communities. A comparative analysis between a battery-only storage system and a multi-storage system was carried out to highlight the advantages of integrating multiple energy storage technologies.
