Photovoltaic energy storage grid dispatch

Can a grid-interactive photovoltaic-storage system work in a multi building scenario?

In this paper a grid-interactive photovoltaic-storage system in a multi building scenario with net-metering is evaluated. A simulation model is developed for an interconnected multi building environment with a primary building owning the photovoltaic-battery system.

Why do we consider generation from Battery & CSP power cycle systems dispatchable?

We consider generation from the battery or CSP power cycle systems to be dispatchable, because they can be scheduled according to time-of-delivery prices, and fix the net output of these systems to 100 MW. Power provided by the PV field is not dispatchable, because it cannot be scheduled, and so is not limited except by the grid connection.

Can a solar photovoltaic-battery system be used as a business architecture?

Therefore, the proposed business architecture is applicable to N buildings in vicinity with one building owning the solar photovoltaic-battery system (primary), having bilateral contracts with the rest of N-1 buildings (secondary).

What is a single-technology CSP with thermal energy storage plant?

The plant design is the baseline single-technology CSP with thermal energy storage plant shown in Table 7 The dispatch solution is revenue-maximizing, and is dependent on the electricity prices and the solar resource available during the problem horizon.

How do we design a small-scale concentrated solar power hybrid system?

Beegun et al. ( 2019) use SAM to choose a design for a small-scale concentrated solar power hybrid system; design variables include the size of the solar field and the solar multiple, with the goal of maximizing solar-to-electric conversion efficiency.

Does system sizing affect plant Dispatch and aggregate performance?

We show how system sizing affects plant dispatch and aggregate performance, and compare the relative performance of plant configurations including both single-technology PV and CSP systems with storage as well as hybrid configurations. A specific plant design can be evaluated with respect to several metrics.
