The photovoltaic installed capacity set in the figure is 2395kW. When the energy storage capacity is 1174kW h, the user’s annual expenditure is the smallest and the economic benefit is the best. Fig. 4. The impact of energy storage capacity on annual expenditures.
When the electricity price is relatively high and the photovoltaic output does not meet the user’s load requirements, the energy storage releases the stored electricity to reduce the user’s electricity purchase costs.
The optimal configuration capacity of photovoltaic and energy storage depends on several factors such as time-of-use electricity price, consumer demand for electricity, cost of photovoltaic and energy storage, and the local annual solar radiation.
Build PV and storage systems to relevant standards, such as IEEE 937: Recommended Practice for Installation and Maintenance of Lead-Acid Batteries for Photovoltaic (PV) Systems (IEEE 2007).
Both energy and availability are necessary metrics for assessing PV systems. If the stakeholders involved in a contract are most interested in energy production, and if the contract holds parties responsible for energy production, then it is crucial that energy losses associated with unavailability and system performance are accounted for.
It will serve as input to PV industry certification and compliance approaches and practices. Combining PV with storage brings additional financial considerations. Battery energy storage can resolve technical barriers to grid integration of PV and increase total penetration and market for PV.
