Analysis of Power Grid System with Solar Power Sources and Energy Storage System Integrations using OpenDSS

This paper presents the analysis of power grid system with solar power sources and energy storage system integration by using the Open Distribution System Simulator (OpenDSS) program. According to the technology growing of energy storage system, the photovoltaic or solar power system can be increasing the performance of their systems for power grid system. The objective of this study aims to analysis the power grid system when the solar power sources have worked with energy storage systems. The OpenDSS is selected to represent the performance of the proposed study in this article. The simulation results found that the integration of photovoltaic and energy storage systems can increase the system ability of power grid system and reduce the energy demand cost of whole system. Therefore, this study can verify that the proposed integration can improve the power grid efficiency, reducing the load fluctuation, and preliminary study of energy demand cost reduction.
