| Abstract | As the distribution grid increasingly integrate rooftop solar PV, their power generation outputs are uncertain due to the solar radiation, panel temperature, passing cloud, and v-i characteristic operating level. Therefore, PV grid connected system would require a supplementary source to ensure more stable PV power generation, particularly during cloudy periods. In this paper, the battery storage energy management system (BS-EMS) is investigated to decrease the effect of sudden power generation variation of rooftop solar PV. The balance of power between rooftop solar PV and battery storage is studied by dynamic control of the BS-EMS to maintain stable output power at the point of common coupling (PCC). Simulation results for a 24 hour period indicate the performance of battery storage system capable of smoothing out grid connected rooftop solar PV generation under various conditions. |
