The integration of properly sized photovoltaic and battery energy storage systems (PV-BESS) for the delivery of constant power not only guarantees high energy availability, but also enables a possible increase in the number of PV installations and the PV penetration.
However, the investment cost of energy storage is still relatively high, which makes storage sizing an important optimization problem. In this paper, we propose a fractional structure objective function to size the energy storage in a cost-efficient way.
Energy storage can play an essential role in large scale photovoltaic power plants for complying with the current and future standards (grid codes) or for providing market oriented services. But not all the energy storage technologies are valid for all these
