Real-Time Energy Management in Microgrids With Reduced Battery Capacity Requirements

Energy storage units hold promise to transform the electric power industry, since they can supply power to end customers during peak demand times, and operate as customers upon a power surplus. This paper studies online energy management with renewable energy resources and energy storage units. For the problem at hand, the popular approaches rely on stochastic dual (sub)gradient (SDG) iterations for a chosen stepsize μ, which generally require...
