The objective is to optimize the operation of an isolated microgrid with multiple sources and hydrogen. The approach includes a technical and economic analysis of the microgrid’s operation. The work consists of an economic feasibility analysis based on the prices of the microgrid components. However, it does not include an assessment of economic feasibility based on the reliability of meeting demand. |
| 13 | 2 | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
This paper proposes a technical-economic analysis of a microgrid with two renewable sources and a hybrid storage system. It also proposes an economic sensitivity analysis based on the expected cost reductions of the main microgrid components, without considering different load-supply reliability criteria. |
| 14 | 3 | Yes | Yes | No | Yes |
It proposes the use of stochastic optimization to design an off-grid microgrid with multiple sources, hydrogen, and electric vehicles. The methodology does not include a cost analysis of load-servicing reliability. |
| 15 | 3 | No | Yes | No | Yes |
This paper proposes a strategy for planning a system with multiple renewable generation sources and hydrogen storage. The objective is to reduce the installation and maintenance costs of the integrated system. Economic analyses of the cost of reliability are beyond the scope of this work. |
| 16 | 2 | No | No | No | Yes |
The objective of the study is to evaluate the integration of green hydrogen into smart grids. The work does not address integration with other storage technologies, such as BESS, or the integration of these resources into isolated zero-carbon microgrids. |
