The usage of renewable sources of energy is on the upward trend. However, this is heavily dependent on atmospheric conditions which causes unreliability of power generation, and it is still yet unable to meet the amount needed for full scale industrial usage. Battery storage system will help ease these issues and benefit the system by balancing frequency if there is a fluctuation in the load demand. This project focuses on analyzing battery models and changes in frequency with battery storage system. MATLAB Simulink application is used to simulate and establish my findings. Various factors are to be considered in real-life implementation, such as battery life and space limitations. Thus, simulation will only provide the numerical/ graphical outcome. The project will conclude with the implementation of the most ideal battery model for an electrical system (microgrid). This report will also include further recommendations for future work and improvement to the project.
