However, increasingly, microgrids are being based on energy storage systems combined with renewable energy sources (solar, wind, small hydro), usually backed up by a fossil fuel-powered generator.
Six distinct scenarios are designed to validate the effectiveness of the method and model proposed in this paper while also assessing the impact of investment budget and uncertain parameters on shared energy storage planning for a microgrid cluster.

The optimal configuration of battery energy storage system is key to the designing of a microgrid. In this paper, a optimal configuration method of energy storage in grid-connected microgrid is proposed.
The paper considers the capacity configuration and optimized operation of energy storage and thermal storage in a direct current microgrid system for four typical days.
However, increasingly, microgrids are being based on energy storage systems combined with renewable energy sources (solar, wind, small hydro), usually backed up by a fossil fuel-powered generator. The main advantage of a microgrid: higher reliability.
Due to the decreased demand for energy storage in the microgrid cluster, with the budget unchanged, the microgrid cluster increases the investment in self-built energy storage. It reduces the investment in leased energy storage to reduce the lifecycle cost of SES.
The results indicated that, compared to individual energy storage, the battery capacity for storage in the microgrid cluster was reduced by 75.94 %. Most of the above studies optimize the capacity of SES and the system operation strategy using either self-built or leased energy storage.
Subsequently, a robust optimization model is formulated for configuring shared energy storage within a microgrid cluster, incorporating considerations of inter-microgrid energy sharing, seasonal variations in net load curves, and associated volatility.
By storing excess electricity and releasing it during periods of high demand, energy storage optimizes the microgrid's internal energy consumption pattern [, , , ].
Among them, the power and capacity configurations of self-built energy storage show a downward trend; the power and capacity configurations of leased energy storage keep increasing. This indicates that the microgrid cluster system reduces operational risks by increasing SES power and capacity configurations.
