Sizing and dispatch optimization for PV BESS systems in specific markets

Sammanfattning: The consistent rise in electricity demand, coupled with the degradation of our planet's resources, has driven the growth of renewable energy. Various strategies are being implemented to facilitate the transition to renewable sources, encompassing initiatives such as increasing transmission lines, developing energy storage technologies, or combining different renewable energies. Furthermore, the electric grid is transforming from a centralized structure to distributed generation. This study primarily centres on the synergy between photovoltaic generation and battery energy storage systems used in micro-generation applications, one for an industry in Uruguay and the other for a rural community in Greece. Diverse combinations of photovoltaic and storage capacities are analysed, with the battery dispatch optimized according to the market price and the emissions of electricity generation separately. Subsequently, the objective is to verify whether the installation of energy storage systems yields tangible benefits compared to solely net-metering practices.
