Abstract

This data presented in this article was collected using simulations on a microgrid system to analyze reduction of carbon footprints using distributed battery storage devices. Analysis was performed over a 24-h period of operation of the microgrid system to reduce the CO₂ emissions from 0% to 100% using battery storage devices. The data can be used in designing efficient microgrid systems, understanding the potential of battery energy storage devices in future electricity generation, and sizing the microgrid systems depending of the CO₂ reduction goals in power systems.
