Designing Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Systems with Energy Storage (3 credit hours/3 HSW Hours)
The purpose of this 3-hour course is to follow up on the previous introductory course on the design of grid-connected PV systems with no energy storage. This course will cover PV systems with energy Storage (ESS).          
 
The course begins with a discussion of the classifications and operating modes of ESS, followed by detailed discussion of the nuances of system integration, including electrical, control, monitoring and communications, backup and grid-support options.  Several designs are presented and discussed in detail.            
 
Because ESS technology is moving at a fast pace, emphasis is placed upon understanding basic ESS concepts to provide the student with the tools to understand the design and operation of future ESS systems.   While the student may not emerge from this course as an expert in design of ESS systems, a basic understanding of how the systems work and what is involved in the design can be reasonably expected.
Roger Messenger
Upon completion of the course, the student should be familiar with:
 
  • The types of energy storage technologies including discussion of depth of discharge and number of cycles in a lifetime of a system.
  • The difference between AC-Coupled and DC-Coupled Energy Storage Systems (ESS). 
  • The difference between a battery-backup PV system and an ESS PV system.
  • A summary of inverter types used in ESS.
  • Possible modes of operation of ESS.
  • Isolation of ESS from the utility in backup mode when the utility is down.
  • Considerations for determining ESS sizing for partial and total backup.
  • Limitations on sizing and operation of ESS.
  • Function and interaction of ESS system components.
  • Options for connection to the utility.
  • ESS code compliance.
