Abstract

As penetration rates of utility-scale photovoltaics (PV) increases, large PV plants will participate in the daily wholesale electricity market in the same way that wind farms. Then, PV plant owner can receive some kind of economic penalty depending on the forecast deviation. This opens the way to use a battery energy storage system (BESS) to compensate the prediction errors. Taking advance of the several 1-hour intra-diary market sessions, the PV plant owner can correct the prediction for the next hours. Hence, a 1-hour BESS SOC control can be implemented to avoid large energy requirements. Here we present two novel strategies which allow a large PV-BESS plant to fulfil the programme referred.
