Optimal Battery Sizing of a Grid-Connected Residential Photovoltaic System for Cost Minimization using PSO Algorithm

Abstract

This paper proposes a new optimization technique that uses Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) in residential grid-connected photovoltaic systems. The optimization technique targets the sizing of the battery storage system. With the liberation of power systems, the residential grid-connected photovoltaic system can supply power to the grid during peak hours or charge the battery during non-peak hours for later domestic use or for selling back to the grid during peak hours. However, this can only be achieved when the battery energy system in the residential photovoltaic system is optimized. The developed PSO algorithm aims at optimizing the battery capacity that will lower the operation cost of the system. The computational efficiency of the developed algorithm is demonstrated using real PV data from Strathmore University. A comparative study of a PV system with and without battery energy storage is carried out and the simulation results demonstrate that PV system with battery is more efficient when optimized with PSO.

PSO Algorithm-Based Design of Intelligent Education Personalization System

“…The functional structure design of the personalized distance education learning management system is based on the use case model and participant model of demand analysis. It divides the system into modules such as system management, information release management, teaching resource management, auxiliary management, and personalized learning management [ 25 ]. The specific functional structure is shown in Figure 10 .…”

Economic Viability of Distribution Network Upgrade Deferral through BESS Sizing from K-Means Clustered Annual Load Profile Data

“…The authors concluded that deferral benefit depends on upgrade timing. Authors in [16] applied the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm to optimally size lead acid BESS in a grid-connected residential photovoltaic system for cost minimization. The NPV method was followed to evaluate the investment deferral value of microgeneration in EHV DNs in [17] wherein the benefit was depending on microgeneration placement.…”

A Hybrid MIP-CBO Approach for Loss Minimization of the PMSM-fed Electric Vehicle Drive System

“…In general, induction motors have the potential advantages of low cost and a wide speed range but are less efficient than Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) despite the use of the loss minimization algorithm [1]. In [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], a wide range of mathematical and soft computing methods were addressed. In [1], a mathematical loss minimization algorithm was developed to minimize the power loss of PMSM and balance the EV energy.…”
