Abstract - A renewable energy driven microgrid system
cogeneration, heat pumps, biomass plants, hydroelectric turbines, etc.) and an additional back-up supply of energy (power generators).
can be designed by integrating with optimally sized renewable energy source such as Solar PV with Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and Thermal Energy Storage System (TESS). Microgrids integrate Renewable energy source with the other energy mix intelligently. They seamlessly balance the variable output of renewable energy with traditional generation assets. In doing so, the microgrid overcomes the downside of solar energy as they only generate power when the sun shines without any human intervention. In this research study the attempt is made to carry out design engineering of Hybrid Microgrid System to meet Thermal and Electrical demands of the building in optimized and cost-effective way. The design philosophy, Greenhouse gas emission reduction and operating cost savings are demonstrated as the outcome of this study.
S Devassy, B Singhn et al. [2] have done the research on Performance Analysis of Solar PV Array and Battery Integrated Unified Power Quality Conditioner for Microgrid Systems. It was experimentational study on existing system. They concluded that their research outcome addresses the issue of the integrating power quality improvement along with the generation of clean energy.
Microgrid provides better power transmission efficiency, power quality, reliability, and security for end users with reduced operating cost. While doing this it also helps to minimize carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions by maximizing clean local energy generation.
Furat Dawood et al. [3] have done the research on StandAlone Microgrid with 100% Renewable Energy: A Case Study with Hybrid Solar PV-Battery-Hydrogen. They used Homer Pro Software for their research. They concluded that that the proposed hybrid energy systems have significant potentialities in electrifying remote communities with low energy generation costs, as well as
To work, micro-grids must include three essential components: Locally produced energy: to ensure they can operate independently in the event they are disconnected (photovoltaic panels, wind turbines,
Impact Factor value: 8.226
A smart management system: to ensure the continuous balance between electricity generation and demand.
Ali Saleh Aziz et al. [1] have done the research on Feasibility analysis of grid-connected and islanded operation of a solar PV microgrid system: A case study of Iraq. They used simulation tool as HOMER software for their study. They concluded that implementing this sort of project can provide clean, economical, and continuous electricity production in countries with daily blackouts.
Distributed energy generation through Microgrid refers to a variety of technologies that generate electricity at or near where it is used (end use areas), such as solar panels and combined heat and power. When connected to the electric utility’s lower voltage distribution lines, distributed generation from Microgrid can help support delivery of clean, reliable power to additional customers and reduce electricity losses along transmission and distribution lines.

1. INTRODUCTION
© 2023, IRJET
A storage system: batteries, a supply of water for pumped-storage hydroelectricity and, in the future, super-capacitors and a chemical based latent-heat storage system.
A microgrid connects to the grid at a point of common coupling that maintains voltage at the same level as the main grid unless there is some sort of problem on the grid or other reason to disconnect. A switch can separate the microgrid from the main grid automatically or manually, and it then functions as an island.
Key Words: Microgrid, Hybrid Microgrid, Battery Energy Storage, Thermal Energy Storage, Solar PV and Energy Efficiency.
