“…where, Pmod is the nominal power of each PV panel, GSTC is the irradiance under standard test conditions (STC) and γ is the temperature coefficient of the photovoltaic panel (negative value). Therefore, the energy generated by the photovoltaic panels every hour is expressed in Equation (9).…”

“…To limit these problems and the related costs that are passed on to the final consumer at the end of the process, it is necessary to schedule the production of Variable Energy Resources with the utmost precision, minimizing errors using appropriate forecasting methods. Regarding policies to mitigate imbalances at the European level, the EU Commission within the 'balance guidelines' is oriented towards a common mechanism for all member states, but it is still in a definition phase [9]. Therefore, one of the main problems of PV grid integration is limiting solar induced imbalances as these can undermine the safety and stability of the electrical system.…”

The electrical generation of photovoltaic systems is variable and non-dispatchable. Energy storage systems can provide the system with energy management capabilities. In particular, with a hybrid system that combines a photovoltaic system and an energy storage system, it is possible to deliver firm power to the grid, if it is correctly dimensioned and operated. The objective of this work is to study the most appropriate relationship between the capacity of the battery energy storage system (BESS) and the peak power of the photovoltaic generator that enables the delivery of constant power throughout the year. Analysis parameters are presented that help to decide the most convenient energy injection constant value (PV-CPG set point) and the size of the storage system. As a case study, the most suitable battery capacity for a 1 MWp photovoltaic system with a battery located in Zaragoza (Spain), and the most convenient annual setpoint values for its operation are analyzed.

“…A third option is to employ Monte Carlo simulation [15]- [20]. Among other factors, this literature shows that operational representation and information revelation [21], [22], the resource mix [10], [23]- [26], load patterns [12], and resource hybridization [27], [28] impacts this use of energy storage.…”

“…The authors in [17] propose novel energy storage capacity contribution formulas and a comprehensive capacity auction model to address capacity offers from energy-limited technologies. In [18], a loss of load probability model is used to estimate the capacity credit of solar photovoltaics (PV) and energy storage. In [19], the authors propose a definition of capacity credit for valuing adequacy contributions of renewable and energy storage based on their marginal capability to reduce expected unserved energy.…”

This paper presents a novel dispatch and evaluation framework for battery energy storage systems (BESSs) to minimize a load servicing entity's coincident demand during system peak hours. The framework consists of i) a two-step BESS dispatch process that accounts for uncertainties in forecasting system peak and using limited battery cycle life, and ii) procedures to design control parameters, determine BESS duration, and estimate the corresponding net benefits. In the proposed dispatch, a rule-based triggering mechanism is executed to determine whether to dispatch a BESS on an operating day by comparing the peak-day probability with a predetermined threshold. Once the dispatch is triggered, a model predictive control is carried out to maximize the expected reduction in peak demand. By exercising this two-step dispatch method with different thresholds, one can explore the trade-off between peak demand reduction effectiveness and loss of battery life, and thereby identify the optimal thresholds to maximize cumulative economic benefits. Case studies are conducted using the data provided by utilities in North Carolina. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
