St. Lucia has 70 MW of renewables up and running, and project partners are looking at installing a battery-based energy storage system with 10 MWh of energy capacity. On St. Vincent, where peak loads average around 25 MW, project partners are considering deploying a 5 MWh battery storage solution to augment spinning reserve capacity, Burgess said.
Another important issue in DC microgrid control is that different ESSs have different energy storage properties; for example, the battery has high energy density while the supercapacitor has high power density [20], [21].The battery has a slow response and is suitable to provide constant loads at steady-state while the supercapacitor has a fast response and is
