Integration and management of PV-battery systems in the grid

27th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 3731-3735
The paper describes recent developments and implementation of a method and a prototype solving the problem of optimal integration of PV-battery energy storage systems into the power grid. The first practical results achieved in cooperation with ABB Switzerland Ltd. using a real-time prototype of the developed advanced battery controller and the largest Li-Ion battery installed in Switzerland at the electric power utility of the canton of Zurich (EKZ) are presented.
