Microgrids with high shares of variable renewable energy resources, such as wind, experience intermittent and variable electricity generation that causes supply–demand mismatches over multiple timescales. ••Hybrid LIB-H2 storage achieves lower cost of wind-supplied microgrid. AbbreviationsAC Annualized costCAPEX Capital expenditureEl ElectrolyzerFC Fuel cellH2 HydrogenHS Hydrogen storageLIB Lithiu. Microgrids, which currently provide electricity to 47 million people across 134 countries and territories, are likely to play an increasing role in future power systems. By 2030, the Wor. 2.1. DemandThis paper analyzes a completely grid-isolated microgrid in the Greater Toronto Area that is supplied entirely by wind energy and serve. Fig. 1 outlines each step of the methodology. First, we compiled the input data, including technology parameters (cost, efficiency, lifetime, etc.), hourly wind speed data, and.
