Energy storage has become an increasingly common component of utility-scale solar energy systems in the United States. Much of NREL's analysis for this market segment focuses on the grid impacts of solar-plus-storage systems, though costs and benefits are also frequently considered.
Yuan et al. proposed a PV and energy storage optimization configuration model based on the second-generation non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm. The results of the case analysis show that the optimized PV energy storage system can effectively improve the PV utilization rate and economy of the microgrid system.
Configurating energy storage for household PV is friendly to the distribution network. Household photovoltaic (PV) is booming in China. In 2021, household PV contributed 21.6 GW of new installed capacity, accounting for 73.8 % of the new installed capacity of distributed PV.
The capacity configuration of energy storage system has an important impact on the economy and security of PV system . Excessive capacity of energy storage system will lead to high investment, operation and maintenance costs, while too small capacity will not fully mitigate the impact of PV system on distribution network.
Residential loads and energy storage batteries consume PV power to the most extent. If there is still remaining PV power after the energy storage is fully charged, it is connected to the power grid. When the PV output is insufficient, the energy storage battery supplies power to the residential loads.
