Sizing of residential PV battery systems

This paper analyses residential PV battery systems in order to gain insights into their sizing. For this purpose a simulation model was developed and system simulations on a timescale of one minute were performed. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis was conducted varying the PV system and battery size to identify appropriate system configurations. Based on the […]

Optimization of Operational Cost for a Grid-Supporting PV System With Battery Storage

Coupling an energy storage to a photovoltaic (PV) system not only increases the self-consumption but also solves the over-voltage issues if the cycling of the storage is properly controlled. Whatever the application the storage is used for, the primary concern of the system owner is to maximize the profits. Therefore, this paper addresses an energy […]

Intelligent control of household Li-ion battery storage systems

The increase in electricity prices along with a decrease in the price of storage systems has led to a rapid expansion of the PV-battery home storage system market. In order to be economically viable PV-storage systems must fulfil certain performance criteria, and the system control strategy has a large impact on the overall system performance. […]
