    • Identification of critical parameters for the design of energy management algorithms for Li-ion batteries operating in PV power plants 

      Berrueta Irigoyen, Alberto Upna Orcid; Soto Cabria, Adrián Upna Orcid; Marcos Álvarez, Javier Upna Orcid; Parra Laita, Íñigo de la Upna Orcid; Sanchis Gúrpide, Pablo Upna Orcid; Ursúa Rubio, Alfredo Upna Orcid (IEEE, 2020)   Artículo / Artikulua  OpenAccess
      Lithium-ion batteries are gaining importance for a variety of applications due to their price decrease and characteristics improvement. For a proper use of such storage systems, an energy management algorithm (EMA) is ...
    • In-field energy performance of solar PV module made of UMG silicon 

      Guerra, Moisés R.; Parra Laita, Íñigo de la Upna Orcid; García Solano, Miguel Upna Orcid; Pascual Miqueleiz, Julio María Upna Orcid (IEEE, 2022)   Artículo / Artikulua  OpenAccess
      Upgraded metallurgical grade silicon (UMG-Si) PV modules have failed to make their space in the PV market, which was partly to the uncertainty on their in-field performance that brings the wide disparity of results published ...
    • Influence of control in cycling degradation when batteries perform PV ramp-rate control 

      González Moreno, Alejandro; Marcos Álvarez, Javier Upna Orcid; Parra Laita, Íñigo de la Upna Orcid; Marroyo Palomo, Luis Upna Orcid (IEEE, 2023)   Artículo / Artikulua  OpenAccess
      This work studies the importance of the correct selection of control parameters in order to avoid unnecessary cycling in batteries when they perform PV smoothing. The classic ramp-rate control method (CRRC) is studied ...
    • Maximum expected ramp rates using cloud speed sensor measurements 

      Wang, Guang Chao; Kurtz, Ben; Bosch, Juan Luis; Parra Laita, Íñigo de la Upna Orcid; Kleissl, Jan (American Institute of Physics, 2020)   Artículo / Artikulua  OpenAccess
      Large ramps and ramp rates in photovoltaic (PV) power output are of concern and sometimes even explicitly restricted by grid operators. Battery energy storage systems can smooth the power output and maintain ramp rates ...
    • The potential of forecasting in reducing the LCOE in PV plants under ramp-rate restrictions 

      Cirés Buey, Eulalia; Marcos Álvarez, Javier Upna Orcid; Parra Laita, Íñigo de la Upna Orcid; García Solano, Miguel Upna Orcid; Marroyo Palomo, Luis Upna Orcid (Elsevier, 2019)   Artículo / Artikulua  OpenAccess
      An increasing number of grid codes are requiring the limitation of the PV output power fluctuation over a given time scale. Batteries represent the most obvious solution to smooth power fluctuations, with the corresponding ...
    • A PV ramp-rate control strategy to extend battery lifespan using forecasting 

      González Moreno, Alejandro; Marcos Álvarez, Javier Upna Orcid; Parra Laita, Íñigo de la Upna Orcid; Marroyo Palomo, Luis Upna Orcid (Elsevier, 2022)   Artículo / Artikulua  OpenAccess
      This study analyses and presents a new ramp-rate control algorithm for smoothing PV power fluctuations, designed to address three fundamental objectives: to reduce battery cycling, to meet minimum storage requirements and ...
