Optimal Operation of a Residential Battery Energy Storage System in a Time-of-Use Pricing Environment

Abstract

Premature ageing of lithium-ion battery energy storage systems (BESS) is a common problem in applications with or without renewable energy sources (RES) in the household sector. It can result to significant issues for such systems such as inability of the system to cover load demand for a long period of time. Consequently, the necessity of limiting the degradation effects at a BESS leads to the development and application of energy management strategies (EMS). In this work, EMSs are proposed in order to define optimal operation of a BESS without RES under time-of-use (ToU) tariff conditions. The objective of the developed EMSs is to reduce the capacity loss at the BESS in order to extend its lifetime expectancy and therefore increase the economic profit in the long-term. The EMSs utilize a widely used battery mathematical model which is experimentally validated for a specific BESS and a battery degradation mathematical model from the literature. Indicative simulation results of the proposed strategies are presented. The outcomes of these simulated scenarios illustrate that the objectives are achieved. The BESS operates efficiently by preventing premature ageing and ensuring higher economic profit at the long term.

Optimasi Sistem Panel Surya dan Baterai Untuk Meminimasi Biaya Pemakaian Energi Listrik Rumah Tangga

“…Optimasi operasi sistem PV-BES telah dilakukan untuk berbagai tujuan termasuk meminimalkan biaya pemakaian energi listrik dari grid dengan tarif listrik berdasarkan waktu penggunaan (time of use) dan tarif yang sama (flat) [23][24].…”

Optimal Configuration of Fire-Storage Capacity Considering Dynamic Charge-Discharge Efficiency of Hybrid Energy Storage

“…However, this method is subjective and poor in scalability. In the studies by Cheng et al (2014) and Galatsopoulos et al (2020), dynamic optimization of the ACE signal allocation ratio is considered in capacity configuration so as to give full play to the frequency modulation potential of different types of energy storage in various scenarios. In the abovementioned study, the charge and discharge efficiency of each type of energy storage is regarded as a constant.…”
