Modeling and Operation of Battery Energy Storage Systems for Peak Power Management
The global transition to renewable energy faces challenges, particularly in integrating variable sources such as wind and solar. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) provide a key solution for grid stabilization and peak load management. Peak shaving stores energy during low-demand periods and releases it during high-demand periods, reducing costs and stabilizing the grid. This research aims to model and analyze optimal BESS operation for peak shaving in industrial environments, highlighting both technical performance and contributions to sustainable energy systems. MATLAB/Simulink simulations evaluate effects on grid dependency, energy efficiency, and economic benefits, showing how BESS with photovoltaic generation can enhance efficiency, reduce grid reliance, and support environmentally friendly energy management.
