What is it about?
This research study describes a pathway for designing an optimisation framework which can be used to optimise the charge and discharge operation of battery storage within a microgrid containing a solar PV system.

Why is it important?
The growing trend of distributed generation, such as solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and small scale wind turbines have promoted the development of microgrids which are highly dependent on renewable energy. Due to the intermittent nature of renewable energy, these microgrids are generally equipped with energy storage, such as batteries. Batteries are generally operated using fixed control methods, often deviating from the optimal operation. This aspect has created an opportunity to gain improved outcomes for microgrid owners and operators.
