Climate-change-related events are increasing the costs of power outages, including losses of product, revenue, and productivity. Given the increase in meteorological disasters in recent years related to climate change effects, the number of costly blackouts, from an economic perspective, has increased in a directly proportional manner. As a result, there is increasing interest in the use of alternators to supply dependable, instantaneous, and uninterruptible electricity. Traditional research has focused on the installation of diesel backup systems to ensure power requirements without deeply considering the resilience capabilities of systems, which is the ability of a system to recover or survive adversity, such as a power outage. This research presents a novel approach focusing on the resiliency impact of backup systems’ storage-free dispatchable solutions on buildings and compares the advantages and disadvantages of biomethane microturbines, natural gas engines, and diesel engines backup systems, discussing the revenue resulting from the resilience provided by emergency generators. The results show that, for several diesel fuel and natural gas safety assumptions, natural gas alternators have a lower probability of failure at the time of a blackout than diesel generators, and therefore, resilience increases.

“…Microgrid upgrade costs are supposed to reach 30% of the system's capital cost [162]. and avoided outage costs are supposed to be USD 3 per kWh [162]. Apart from (i) fixed, one-time expenses incurred on the purchase and (ii) operation and maintenance costs, it is necessary to consider fuel consumption costs.…”

Summary As the world's population and living standards rise, energy suppliers will face increased electrical energy needs. Furthermore, the European Commission has established a goal to reduce fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with the Kyoto and Paris Protocols. As a result, governments are more likely to integrate renewable energy into their electricity grids. However, since renewable energy resources are intermittent, power grid systems confront considerable hurdles. By overcoming the intermittency of renewable energy resources, battery storage systems are one way to optimize load and demand. Many studies show that the stored energy can be used in high demand. This may reduce the cost of production in the long run. Energy storage systems can also provide voltage and frequency regulation to power systems when connected to the transmission and/or distribution lines. The application and benefits of battery storage devices in electricity grids are discussed in this study. The pros and disadvantages of various electrochemical batteries, including their structure, energy capacity, and application areas, are compared and summarized and their benefits and drawbacks are included. Finally, the research demonstrates how electrochemical battery technologies and power grids have collaborated.

“…In practice, PV systems can be coupled with energy storage technologies to enable grid-supporting capability [96], continuous operation during outages [97,98], and economic operation [99,100]. Different types of PV systems and the impacts of different PV penetration levels on system resilience are ignored in most existing research works.…”
