Abstract :

Nowadays, increasing the cost of electrical energy, especially at the peak load duration, besides the environmental caused by fossil fuels, have made the peak shaving problem by clean and renewable energies, one of the important as well as essential subjects in electric power industry. Hence, in this paper, combination of the photovoltaic power plant and the battery storage system is used to solve the peak shaving problem. In doing so, a new formulation is proposed for determining the optimal capacity of the photovoltaic power plant as well as battery storage. In the considered constraints in the mentioned formulation, technical issues and economic problems are combined together in an appropriate manner. Moreover, solving the optimization problem is performed regarding the consumption load profile as well as the hourly cost of the electrical energy of under-consideration costumer, and also the expected value of the inflation and the electrical energy cost in the future years. After that, the obtained solution is evaluated in terms of the economic feasibility and its interaction with the upstream electric power distribution network. Another considerable point in this paper is the use of the real data in an actual network for simulations. The simulation results, confirm the convenient performance as well as good efficiency of the proposed method.
