From analysis of the simulation results, we found that this grid-connected solar PV system with a BESS could supply the load with a direct power consumption of 68.65%, a level of self-sufficiency of 64.38%, a performance ratio of 86.05%, and an energy payback ratio of 89.14%.
Optimized systems use energy from the grid only to supply the load and batteries are charged from the solar PV systems exclusively, making the overall system more economical. BESS and solar PV curtailment is a solution to the challenges associated with high PV penetration at distribution networks from a techno-economic perspective.
The results of this study demonstrate that PV systems with BESS are important to reduce grid dependence and increase the availability and reliability of electricity in developing countries. Additionally, the results indicate that grid-connected PV systems with BESS are techno-economically feasible for developing countries.
The financial analysis showed that the return on assets and amortization period were 9.14% and 9.65 years, respectively. The results of this study demonstrate that PV systems with BESS are important to reduce grid dependence and increase the availability and reliability of electricity in developing countries.
