With the development of technology and lithium-ion battery production lines that can be well applied to sodium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries will be components to replace lithium-ion batteries in grid energy storage. Sodium-ion batteries are more suitable for renewable energy BESS than lithium-ion batteries for the following reasons:
However, during their operation, because of frequent charging and discharging, along with the intermittent and unstable PV output, battery life degradation is accelerated, thus increasing the operating cost (OCT) of the system [ 8, 9 ].
Multiple requests from the same IP address are counted as one view. An energy storage system works in sync with a photovoltaic system to effectively alleviate the intermittency in the photovoltaic output.
The daily load of the system is relatively average, and the load peak is reached at approximately 18:00 every day. The PV panels generate less power during this period, indicating that the ESS is required to dispatch the PV power generation.
As the PV sizing increases, the excess power generation increases, and the battery life is reduced. SCs can alleviate this situation; however, the expensive price of the SCs leads to limited sizing configurations, and the degradation of the battery is also limited. Increasing the battery sizing can also slow down battery degradation.
