This work aims to develop a theoretical and computational model for the techno-economic analysis of a photovoltaic (PV) system with and without the use of batteries as energy storage devices. A comprehensive literature review was first performed on PV systems with renewable energy integrated systems.
It was observed that PV system with lithium cobalt oxide battery shows the lowest levelized cost of electricity (3.4 cent/kWh) as compared to other PV system with batteries. The research suggests that integrated system including lithium-ion batteries was determined to be the most feasible and economical.
Comparing these three scenarios analyzing the implementation of a 600-kW commercial PV project in Riyadh, the PV system without any storage options was the most feasible to implement, as it had a payback period of approximately 19 years, whereas the scenarios involving battery EES was not feasible, as the payback period was greater than 25 years.
When combined with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and grid loads, photovoltaic (PV) systems offer an efficient way of optimizing energy use, lowering electricity expenses, and improving grid resilience.
Based on this, this paper first analyzes the cost components and benefits of adding BESS to the smart grid and then focuses on the cost pressures of BESS; it compares the
