Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-3959-6580 Sizing of battery energy storage systems for firming pv power including aging analysis 2024 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted The variability of solar radiation presents significant challenges for the integration of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy into the electrical system. Incorporating battery storage technologies ensures energy reliability and promotes sustainable growth. In this work, an energy analysis is carried out to determine the installation size and the operating setpoint with optimal constant monthly power through an iterative calculation process, considering various operating setpoints and system parameters. A degradation model is integrated according to the curves offered by battery manufacturers and the charge–discharge cycles are calculated using the rainflow method to guarantee a reliable analysis of the plant. Through massive data analysis in a long-term simulation, indicators are generated that allow for establishing a relationship between the energy unavailability of the system and the BESS dimensions. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 3.2 2024 ENERGY & FUELS 112 / 182 = 0.615 2024 Q3 T2 0.713 2024 Engineering (miscellaneous) 2024 Q1 Electrical and Electronic Engineering 2024 Q2 Energy (miscellaneous) 2024 Q2 Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment 2024 Q2 Fuel Technology 2024 Q2 Control and Optimization 2024 Q2 Energy Engineering and Power Technology 2024 Q2 7.3 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Bayod-Rújula, Ángel A.
