Electric Energy System Optimization🔗
General information and context of the problem🔗
To reduce energy costs, a factory owner wants to install a photovoltaic module on top of his factory roof. To be more independent of fluctuations in energy prices and hours of sunshine, an energy storage is additionally installed in form of a battery. The challenge is now to find the optimal size for the PV module and a suitable capacity for the battery. Therefore, the factory owner asks a simulation engineer to build the system in Modelon Impact to optimize the design.
