As part of NLR's Storage Futures Study, dGen modeled customer decisions about whether to adopt distributed storage paired with PV under different scenarios. dGen found battery costs and high value of backup power are the biggest drivers of distributed storage deployment. . These publications—including technical reports, journal articles, conference papers, and posters—either focus on or were heavily informed by the Distributed Generation Market Demand (dGen™) Model or its predecessor, the Solar Deployment System (SolarDS) Model. As part of NLR's Storage Futures. . Unlike traditional centralized systems, distributed storage offers flexibility, efficiency, and seamless integration with renewable energy—making it increasingly vital across urban, rural, and industrial settings. Distributed energy storage refers to deploying energy storage systems near end-users. .

Distributed secondary control schemes, which leverage local neighboring information, offer a more promising solution for MGs. They minimize resource consumption and enhance efficiency and reliability without significantly increasing design and installation complexity. . This work focuses on enhancing microgrid resilience through a combination of effective frequency regulation and optimized communication strategies within distributed control frameworks using hybrid energy storages. Through the integration of distributed model predictive control (MPC) for frequency. . In this paper, a distributed control is proposed for Distributed Energy Storage Systems (DESSs) and Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) power management in islanded Microgrid (MG). The power management strategy is designed to maintain generation/consumption balance, to ensure State of Charge (SoC). .
