Does a battery storage system provide firmness to photovoltaic power generation?

This paper proposes an adequate sizing and operation of a system formed by a photovoltaic plant and a battery storage system in order to provide firmness to photovoltaic power generation. The system model has been described, indicating its corresponding parameters and indicators.

What is the storage capacity of a PV-Bess system?

The storage capacity of the PV-BESS system is defined based on the parameter storage to power ratio (S2P), which is calculated using Equation (1). In this equation, C BESS represents the storage capacity of the system (MWh) and P PV is the peak power of the photovoltaic installation (MWp).

How does a photovoltaic plant guarantee a supply of 95%?

According to the simulation results, the photovoltaic plant guarantees a supply of an annual capacity credit of more than 95%, and does so by selecting combinations of constant power setpoint and storage ranges around the following values: CPO F = 0.12 and S2P = 2 h, CPO F = 0.1 and S2P = 1.65 h, or CPO F = 0.06 and S2P = 0.9 h.

What is the IEA photovoltaic power systems programme?

The IEA Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (IEA PVPS) is one of the TCPs within the IEA and was established in 1993. The mission of the programme is to “enhance the international collaborative efforts which facilitate the role of photovoltaic solar energy as a cornerstone in the transition to sustainable energy systems.”

What are the parameters of a photovoltaic system?

The main parameters to analyze are the annual production of photovoltaic energy, the useful life of the components and the costs of the installation (Capital Expeditures (CapEx), Operational expeditures (OpEx), and Operation and Maintenance (O&M)) [16, 17, 18, 19].

How did a photovoltaic simulation work?

The simulation was carried out through massive vector data computation, which enabled the analysis of large amounts of operations in a short period of time. The power setpoint was adjusted for each month of the year, based on the expected photovoltaic production. The objective was to guarantee a constant power supply or a capacity credit of 95%.
