A survey of Energy Management Systems considering battery state of health preservation in microgrid applications

Electrochemical storage systems play an increasingly central role in microgrids, providing several services which allow for more flexible and reliable operation. Lifetime of battery storage systems is a critical aspect to consider for their sustainable and cost-effective employment. In this paper a survey of energy management systems (EMSs) designed to contribute to battery lifetime extension is presented. To pursue this objective, the design of EMSs must rely on suitable battery degradation models, the most significant of which have been retrieved from the technical literature and described as well.
