This paper proposes a grid-forming energy-storage-based flexible interconnection system (GFM-ESFIS) which integrates the flexible interconnection converters with energy-storage units to fully meet the stability and power supply reliability requirements of the microgrid–main grid . . This paper proposes a grid-forming energy-storage-based flexible interconnection system (GFM-ESFIS) which integrates the flexible interconnection converters with energy-storage units to fully meet the stability and power supply reliability requirements of the microgrid–main grid . . This transformation is driven by the convergence of two critical technologies → Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) and urban microgrids. Their combination represents a fundamental rethinking of urban energy infrastructure, where buildings are active power-generating assets and localized grids. . Building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) is one of the most efficient ways to utilize renewable energy in buildings. However, the stochastic characteristic of PV power generation and load challenges the optimal dispatch of the BIPV. This paper proposes an optimal scheduling strategy of BIPV. . This research of 500kWp BIPV multi-energy complementary micro-grid system (PV/wind hybrid micro-grid system) includes three parts: distributed power source, load and micro-grid control system.
