The require d ge neration capacity for a microgrid usually i s about 115 percent of its forecasted peak demand. Adding more dispatchable generation is the common pra c tice t o provide generation capacity.
The fluctuation of renewable energy resources and the uncertainty of demand-side loads affect the accuracy of the configuration of energy storage (ES) in microgrids. High peak-to-valley differences on the load side also affect the stable operation of the microgrid.
To improve the accuracy of capacity configuration of ES and the stability of microgrids, this study proposes a capacity configuration optimization model of ES for the microgrid, considering source–load prediction uncertainty and demand response (DR). First, a microgrid, including electric vehicles, is constructed.
Microgrids with the s upport of energy storage system is a promising solution to improve the power reliability.

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.
The simulation results show that the optimal configuration of ES capacity and DR promotes renewable energy consumption and achieves peak shaving and valley filling, which reduces the total daily cost of the microgrid by 22%. Meanwhile, the DR model proposed in this paper has the best optimization results compared with a single type of the DR model.
