Hence, there was a need to investigate possible solutions to achieve a reliable network without loss of production. An optimisation method is defined for integrating a residential solar-battery system. Based on the results of this research, it could be concluded that small battery storage systems of ±1 kWh/MWh consumption creates a considerable increase of both self-consumption and self-sufficiency ratio. Integrating a larger capacity will not contribute to a proportionate increase. In addition, an evaluation of centralised and decentralised storage systems is performedenDistribution networksPhotovoltaic power systemsBattery storage plantsRenewable energy sourcesOptimisationPresentation
