Abstract

Solar energy is considered as one of the most promising solutions to prevent climate change, and optimal utilization of solar energy contributes to reducing dependence on non-renewable energy sources. Distributed generation can help support the delivery of clean and reliable power to consumers. In this paper, an Energy Management System (EMS) is developed along with load and Photovoltaic (PV) generation forecasting to perform peak shaving of electricity demand. The results from the proposed method are implemented in a real case study, in Port of Gävle in Sweden. Total revenue generated from services of peak-shaving and frequency regulation is maximum in the scenario considering high PV generation and high consumption on a selected experimental day in July. The results show that PV-battery storage systems are effective options to increase the integration of renewable energies in the grid, flatten the load, and achieve stabilized operation.
