“…Fluctuations in the generation of PV power were addressed using an optimization strategy to determine the most effective battery size. A randomized algorithm was used to increase the revenue of the PV/BESS [41]. There is no universal solution because of differing environmental conditions and electricity prices in different regions.…”

There is a rapid increase in the utilization of renewable sources such as solar and wind to provide power and electricity. The reason for this trend is to reduce costs and preserve the environment. However, the challenge is to efficiently use and store the energy from these sources. One approach is to optimize the decision when to charge or discharge a battery. The objective is to generate the greatest monetary gain. More charge/discharge cycles will reduce the life of a battery, thereby increasing the cost. A strategy to reduce the number of charge cycles while maintaining the effectiveness of electricity distribution from battery storage will improve battery life. With the inevitable proliferation of electric vehicles (EVs) in the market, strategies specific to electric vehicle battery profitability will be explored. An additional concern which threatens the financial feasibility of battery energy storage systems (BESSs) is the requirement of secure operation. There is currently little research study on strategies to detect cyberattacks on such systems. In this paper, we have presented a novel taxonomy for battery optimization, survey representative BESS utilization strategies, and classify these schemes within the taxonomy. Within our classification, we outline the battery optimization methods that have been discussed, analyze their ability to address issues that arise when implementing a BESS, and describe alternative research that could be explored. Future research could refer to this information to create unique battery optimization schemes to provide more efficiency and optimal revenue for a BESS when compared to current strategies.

“…Additionally, it is worth mentioning that PV power generation and load demand time series profile including longer time periods (e.g., years) are not always accessible. For that reason, short time periods examining specific set of operating conditions are often considered in the sizing procedure [14]. However, current industry requirements imply fast and accurate solutions in the sizing process covering a large spectrum of operating conditions.…”

To ensure high performance, reliability, and economic profitability of a PV-battery system, the sizing of key components, such as PV panels and battery, are important during the design stage. Sizing procedures with low complexity and minimum input data requirement have become a more appealing solution than complex optimization methods. However, accuracy of such simplified sizing principles, e.g., compared to comprehensive models, should be investigated for different installation site conditions. Hence, in this paper, a robustness evaluation of currently available simplified sizing principle is performed where various mission profiles are considered. The analysis results have shown that using a simplified sizing principle results in less than 5% error in economic profitability compared to ones from the comprehensive model which includes advanced performance, lifetime and economic aspects.

Summary As a global common trend for fossil fuels independence, renewable energy plays a great role to save a clean source of energy. As a result of the high solar energy potential in Egypt, successive incentive polices had been introduced by the Egyptian electricity authority to encourage the deployment of small‐scale residential rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems. This paper explores the impacts of installing a grid‐connected PV battery system from both technical and economic point of view under the existing incentive policy and energy purchasing and selling price in Egypt. The Egypt case is considered as a case study. The study investigates the current Egyptian Incentive Policy situation and criteria for high electricity load profile. The economic evaluation of various sizes of the PV battery system is carried out based on different economic measures such as net present value (NPV), self‐sufficiency (S‐S), and electricity bill savings. The methodology is based on the assessment of different technical and economical indices as well as on performing sensitivity analysis. A MATLAB code was purposely developed and implemented to evaluate the economic effect of the installed system considering the effect of battery capital cost and discount rate variations. A net energy metering (NEM) incentive policy is suggested to increase and maximize the financial profits from installing PV battery system and increase the independency from the utility grid. The results showed that doubling the sellback power price to $0.089/kWh instead of $0.04/kWh will decrease the profitable PV system size to the half and will increase the NPV to the double. Under FiT incentive policy, installing 25 kWp PV system can achieve 50% of S‐S and adding 12.5 kWh of batteries will increase it to 75%, while under the NEM incentive policy, installing 15 kWp PV system can achieve 47% of S‐S and the 75% S‐S can be achieved by adding 15 kWh of batteries.
