Abstract
This chapter discusses the integration of Solar Photovoltaic (PV) and Battery Energy Storage (BES) units for reducing energy loss and enhancing voltage stability. In this chapter, each nondispatchable PV unit is converted into a dispatchable source with a combination of PV and BES units. New multiobjective index-based analytical expressions are proposed to capture the size and power factor of the combination of PV and BES units. A Self-Correction Algorithm (SCA) is also developed for sizing multiple PV and BES units while considering the time-varying demand and probabilistic generation. The power factors of PV and BES units are optimally dispatched at each load level. The simulation results show that operation of PV and BES units with optimal power factors can reduce energy losses and enhance voltage stability significantly compared to that with unity power factor.
