Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-1490-6423 Optimization of isolated hybrid microgrids with renewable energy based on different battery models and technologies 2020 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Energy supply in remote areas (mainly in developing countries such as Colombia) has become a challenge. Hybrid microgrids are local and reliable sources of energy for these areas where access to the power grid is generally limited or unavailable. These systems generally include a diesel generator, solar modules, wind turbines, and storage devices such as batteries. Battery life estimation is an essential factor in the optimization of a hybrid microgrid since it determines the system’s final costs, including future battery replacements. This article presents a comparison of different technologies and battery models in a hybrid microgrid. The optimization is achieved using the iHOGA software, based on data from a real microgrid in Colombia. The simulation results allowed the comparison of prediction models for lifespan calculation for both lead–acid and lithium batteries in a hybrid microgrid, showing that the most accurate models are more realistic in predicting battery life by closely estimating real lifespans that are shorter, unlike other simplified methods that obtain much longer and unrealistic lifetimes. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 3.004 2020 ENERGY & FUELS 70 / 114 = 0.614 2020 Q3 T2 0.597 2020 Control and Optimization 2020 Q2 Electrical and Electronic Engineering 2020 Q2 Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment 2020 Q2 Energy Engineering and Power Technology 2020 Q2 Fuel Technology 2020 Q2 Energy (miscellaneous) 2020 Q2 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Dufo-López, R.
