Analysis of Energy Storage Architectures for Optimized Integration with a 200kW Industrial PV Facility

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are increasingly recognized as a fundamental component of the energy transition and play a vital role in maintaining a stable balance within the National Power System. They significantly contribute to the efficient integration of renewable energy sources, the mitigation of generation and consumption fluctuations, and the enhancement of energy security. Among the direct advantages of implementing BESS are the reduction of the risk of power supply interruptions, the improvement of grid resilience in the face of fluctuations or unforeseen events, and the overall optimization of system efficiency through better power flow management. This paper analyzes the energy and environmental impact of three distinct energy storage configurations integrated into a model energy micro-community, composed of an industrial consumer and a 200kW photovoltaic power plant. The study evaluates the potential for energy consumption optimization and the contribution of each storage solution to CO emission reduction, maximization of self-consumption, and efficient exploitation of locally available renewable energy resources.
