Customer benefit optimization for residential PV with energy storage systems

摘要

The paper reports a benefit analysis for residential photovoltaic (PV) system for customers particularly in the state of Arizona by conducting an optimum economic analysis for the PV-energy storage system, optimizing the use of energy storage device to maximize the profit and minimize utility bills in accordance with the tariffs and polices of the locality. Load forecasting has been done by using the weighted k-mean clustering technique on the basis of previous years' load, temperature and the forecasted temperature and a battery discharge technique is provided to reduce the peak demand charge.
