Recent attention to industrial peak shaving applications sparked an increased interest in battery energy storage systems. Among other studies, there have been several reports examining optimal sizing of such storage systems. Most such works make significant assumptions about the key factors that affect battery degradation. This work examines these assumptions using a linear aging model that consid...Show More
Energy storage systems are acknowledged as key components for transforming the power system towards low-carbon technology. The performance and resulting benefit of energy storage systems are determined by their operation strategies. We present a generic and adaptive control algorithm, based on fuzzy-logic and optimized by a meta heuristic search method. The performance of the algorithm is demonstr...Show More
Economic analysis of installing photovoltaic generation systems combined with battery energy storage in residential homes in Alberta was performed by comparing the net present values over the lifetime of systems with three different configurations: no photovoltaic generation and no battery energy storage, photovoltaic generation alone, and both photovoltaic generation and battery energy storage. T...Show More
The deployment of solar energy generation combined with energy storage systems can reduce the energy dependency of individual households while mitigating the impact of the intermittent renewable energy sources on the electric power grid. However, to maximize the benefits, efficient operational strategies must be defined to manage flows of energy in such systems. The first step towards the developm...Show More
The adoption of residential photovoltaic power generators combined with energy storage system can reduce the energy dependency of individual households while alleviating the impact of intermittent solar energy on the electric power grid. However, to maximize the benefits, energy in such systems must be carefully managed. The first step towards development of such energy management system, describe...Show More
The penetration of photovoltaic power generation combined with energy storage system in the residential sector can help to balance the electrical power grid. However, the system initial costs are expensive. The photovoltaic/energy storage system configuration must maximize the system usage and reduce the power grid dependency. This paper presents an advanced controller that uses the potential phot...Show More
Energy storage system integration in residential buildings equipped with solar power generators can help to balance the electrical power grid. The photovoltaic/energy storage system configuration should increase the grid independence of individual households. Therefore, such configuration needs an optimized power dispatch strategy. This paper presents an advanced controller that uses the potential...Show More
