Energy Conservation: Adopt energy conservation habits in your daily routines, such as switching off lights and electronics when not in use, using energy-efficient appliances, and reducing standby power consumption. The more energy you save, the greater the impact of your solar PV and battery storage systems.
In other words, the intermittent feature of renewable energy sources indicates that it is essential to connect solar PV system to the grid or battery energy storage (BES) to ensure a reliable power supply. A study found that in 2020, more than 3 GW small-scale solar PV and 238 MWh batteries were installed in Australia .
Capacity optimization of solar PV and BES has been carried out in several studies. In , a grid-connected system with solar PV was proposed to minimize the total life cycle cost and maintain the stability of the system.
The lifetime of the solar PV system is considered as 25 years. It is considered that a maximum of 5 kW power can be exported to the grid according to SA Power Networks . The minimum and maximum limitations of the battery's SOCs are selected as 20% and 95%, respectively . TABLE 1. Parameters of the solar PV and BES in this study
In general, the service life of PV modules is 25 years. To evaluate the impact of PV degradation on the optimal battery capacity, the project life was considered as 25 years, and the battery would be replaced when the SOH of the battery is lower than 60%. The replacement cost of the battery was set as 100 RMB/kWh.
This is mainly because the power generated by PV plays an important role in electricity charged by the battery system for FiT 1, while the amount of electricity stored by the battery from the PV system is far less than that from the power grid for FiT 2. Therefore, PV degradation has a great impact on the optimal battery capacity for FiT 1.
