Demand Side Management of Grid- Tied Hybrid Photovoltaic-Diesel-Battery Energy System for a University Engineering Building

Abstract

The increasing electricity costs of the university engineering buildings has created a need for the review of the work done in the demand side management of grid-tied hybrid energy systems for commercial buildings. This paper proposes the architecture of an on-site grid-tied hybrid Photovoltaic/Diesel generator/Battery storage energy system for a university engineering building under time of use pricing considering maximum demand charge. The paper also identifies further research work.
