Analyis of Grid Optimization, Solar Integration with BESS

Joshua Kurutsi Tabki

Abstract


This research investigates the integration of Solar Photovoltaics (PV) with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) for optimizing grid performance, focusing on power loss reduction, voltage stabilization, and enhanced load management in distribution networks. Given the intermittency of solar energy due to weather variability, BESS plays a pivotal role in mitigating associated challenges, such as fluctuations in generation and demand, frequency instability, and power quality issues. This study examines selective optimization techniques to identify optimal siting points for PV and BESS systems along the distribution line, using data from the Nigerian power grid as a case study. Through simulations, this research compares traditional grid operations with solar-integrated networks, highlighting the environmental benefits of renewable energy adoption, including reduced dependence on fossil fuels. The findings emphasize that solar integration with BESS improves grid resilience and reliability, offering valuable insights for enhancing Nigeria’s energy infrastructure through sustainable innovations.
