Different Aspects That Affect Sizing of Battery Energy Storage in PV Systems

The renewable energy is growing in significant way especially photovoltaic (PV) system in order to keep up with huge needs of electricity. However, the PV output power is suffering from both; intermittency and environmental condition which have great influence on its performance. So, using batteries as complementary source becomes imperative with PV system. Therefore, the batteries must be sizing precisely. In this paper, the different aspects which affect the battery sizing will be explained. These factors will figure out the system behavior and performance. The main aim of this paper is to acquire high system efficiency and reliability with optimal cost.
