LI-ION BATTERY STORAGE SYSTEM ASSOCIATED WITH PHOTOVOLTAIC GENERATION TO SUPPLY LOCAL DEMAND

Resumo

Photovoltaic systems and energy storage have proven to be promising solutions for the management and generation of electrical energy, especially in low-voltage units. This work aims to evaluate the impacts of implementing a photovoltaic system combined with a lithium-ion battery system in School of Engineering of the Federal University of Goiás. Simulations will be conducted using the HOMER software. In this environment, simulations of the installations of the same generation set and battery system will be carried out to evaluate the results in different applications and identify the benefits that the consumer will receive in the proposed scenarios. The following scenarios will be evaluated: an increase in solar generation without the battery system and an increase in solar generation with the battery system. From this analysis, it is expected to measure the gains from adding batteries to photovoltaic systems installed in low voltage (LV), which are responsible for the significant growth of microgeneration in recent years.
