With the promotion of renewable energy utilization and the trend of a low-carbon society, the real-life application of photovoltaic (PV) combined with battery energy storage systems (BESS) has thrived recently. Cost–benefit has always been regarded as one of the vital factors for motivating PV-BESS integrated energy systems investment.
The cost–benefit analysis reveals the cost superiority of PV-BESS investment compared with the pure utility grid supply. In addition, the operation simulation of the PV-BESS integrated energy system is carried out showing that how the energy arbitrage is realized.
The investment cost of the storage systems includes both energy and power costs. Additionally, to assess the environmental benefits of the planning optimization and operation optimization proposed in this paper, it is necessary to calculate the carbon emissions of the electricity consumed by the system.
Cost–benefit has always been regarded as one of the vital factors for motivating PV-BESS integrated energy systems investment. Therefore, given the integrity of the project lifetime, an optimization model for evaluating sizing, operation simulation, and cost–benefit into the PV-BESS integrated energy systems is proposed.
