The DOE defines a microgrid as a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources (DERs) within clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the power grid.
In scenarios 2–4, during the period from \ (t\) = 1 h to t = 14 h, the power exchanged between the grid-forming energy storage and the microgrid remains within 60 kW. From \ (t\) = 15 h to \ (t\) = 24 h, as WT and PV power decreases, the power exchanged from the grid-forming energy storage increases.
