Battery systems for commercial buildings with solar power : Control and operation strategies

2019

Master's thesis Renewable Energy ENE500 - University of Agder 2019 In order to reach the climate targets, a sustainable energy system based on renewable energy generationis required. Battery storage systems are considered part of the solution, aselectricity generationfrom renewable energy sources suchas wind and solardoes not match the energy consumption at all times.This thesis investigates control and operation of battery storage systems for commercial buildings with and without photovoltaicinstallations. It was found in the literaturereviewthat the correct size of a battery system is importantin order to have an optimal storage solution and avoid unnecessary costs. Therefore,a photovolta…
