Abstract
Repurposed Electric Vehicle Batteries (REVBs) are gaining increasing attention as an alternate option to new Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in microgrids. In this context, incorporating microgrid's adequacy requirements as well as power sharing of multiple REVB-based units within the planning framework is essential. In this paper, a comprehensive multi -year, multi -unit REVB-based microgrid planning approach is proposed to determine the optimal power and energy sizes, time of commissioning, and year of replacement of REVB units, considering their capacity and calendar degradation effects. A power sharing strategy is proposed to enhance the battery useful life and delay the replacement of REVB units to minimize the total investment cost, while ensuring that microgrid's adequacy requirements are met. The proposed planning framework is based on a heuristic backward -forward propagation approach, featuring the novel concept of measuring the adequacy level of the microgrid in terms of REVB energy to power ratio. The proposed approach is tested on the CIGRE isolated microgrid test system to verify its ability to properly plan and operate an REVB-Based isolated microgrid. Extensive studies considering deterministic, and stochastic cases are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. To keep the microgrid adequacy measure of the energy to power ratio to an acceptable level, the results shows an increase of 8% in the energy capacity size of the microgrid in the terminal years while having a proper power sharing strategy.
