“…Subsequently, the management of the battery is fundamental in order to preserve it and reduce the degradation rate. Moreover, a maximum life expectancy of 10 years is considered for precautionary reasons as most suppliers suggest [59]. The cost of the battery directly depends on the capacity.…”

Energy Storage Systems (EES) are key to further increase the penetration in energy grids of intermittent renewable energy sources, such as wind, by smoothing out power fluctuations. In order this to be economically feasible; however, the ESS need to be sized correctly and managed efficiently. In the study, the use of discrete wavelet transform (Daubechies Db4) to decompose the power output of utility-scale wind turbines into high and low-frequency components, with the objective of smoothing wind turbine power output, is discussed and applied to four-year Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) real data from multi-MW, on-shore wind turbines provided by the industrial partner. Two main research requests were tackled: first, the effectiveness of the discrete wavelet transform for the correct sizing and management of the battery (Li-Ion type) storage was assessed in comparison to more traditional approaches such as a simple moving average and a direct use of the battery in response to excessive power fluctuations. The performance of different storage designs was compared, in terms of abatement of ramp rate violations, depending on the power smoothing technique applied. Results show that the wavelet transform leads to a more efficient battery use, characterized by lower variation of the averaged state-of-charge, and in turn to the need for a lower battery capacity, which can be translated into a cost reduction (up to −28%). The second research objective was to prove that the wavelet-based power smoothing technique has superior performance for the real-time control of a wind park. To this end, a simple procedure is proposed to generate a suitable moving window centered on the actual sample in which the wavelet transform can be applied. The power-smoothing performance of the method was tested on the same time series data, showing again that the discrete wavelet transform represents a superior solution in comparison to conventional approaches.

“…As before, the following materials were considered to implement the off-grid option: [64], expectancy lifetime of a lithiumion battery under real operation conditions is between 8 and 12 years. We choose 8 years, the lower value, since in this design phase we do not know the real conditions of the batteries (temperature, depth of discharge, etc.…”

Sustainability is becoming of vital importance in project management, and a life cycle assessment (LCA) can ensure a body of knowledge to bear in mind the environmental burdens the project involves. In this study, two different ways of supplying energy to a sensor network are analyzed. Firstly, we analyze the environmental impact of the devices connected to the public grid. Secondly, we analyze the completely full off-grid system, with the sensor connected to a photovoltaic (PV) panel. Our findings show that the off-grid option has a greater number of benefits than the grid-connected option in terms of environmental impacts, although it is less economically advantageous. In a detailed analysis of the off-grid scenario, it can be observed that the battery is the component with the highest impact, so actions to try to reduce consumption, and, therefore, the battery size and its negative impact are taken. After reducing the battery size, the break-even point was reached, providing a net economic benefit of EUR 0.23 sensor/year. However, this analysis refers to a single sensor, and although the environmental and economic benefits seem low, in an economy of scale, this could result in large savings if these types of sensors are massively installed.

“…Studies, that use an actual ageing model for battery ageing and in which Li-ion batteries are applied, are [9,12,14,16,21,26,40,[49][50][51][52]. While the aforementioned studies also consider the economics of the systems, Sandelic et al [53] and Beltran et al [54] also use an aging model for LIB, but their studies are mainly aimed at identifying and maximizing the lifetime of the battery and power electronics. Four studies are known that investigate the extent to which battery aging affects PV storage system economics and sizing [12][13][14]31].…”

PV in combination with Li-ion storage systems can make a major contribution to the energy transition. However, large-scale application will only take place when the systems are economically viable. The profitability of such a system is not only influenced by the investment costs and economic framework conditions, but also by the technical parameters of the storage systems. The paper presents a methodology for the simulation and sizing of PV home storage systems that takes into account the efficiency of the storage systems (AC, DC standby consumption and peripheral consumption, battery efficiency and inverter efficiency), the aging of the components (cyclic and calendar battery aging and PV degradation), and the intelligence of the charging strategy. The developed methodology can be applied to all regions. In this paper, a sensitivity analysis of the influence of the mentioned technical parameters on the dimensioning and profitability of a PV home storage is performed. The calculation is done for Germany. Especially, battery aging, battery inverter efficiency and a charging strategy to avoid calendar aging have a decisive influence. While optimization of most other technical parameters only leads to a cost reduction of 1–3%, more efficient inverters can save up to 5%. Even higher cost reductions (more than 20%) can only be achieved using batteries that age less, especially batteries that are less sensitive to calendar aging. In individual cases, a small improvement in the efficiency of the storage system can also lead to higher costs. This is for example the case when smaller batteries are combined with a large PV system and the battery is used more due to the higher efficiency. This results in faster ageing and thus earlier replacement of the battery. In addition, the paper includes a detailed literature overview on PV home storage system sizing and simulation.
