Modelling Grid Tied Systems with Battery

[RRodrigues]

Hello

Is there a way of simulating Grid Tied systems with battery and energy management system for increased self-consumption?

It is becoming ever more popular with clients in markets where feed-in tariffs are low and energy costs high, to have a PV system connected to an energy management system that prioritizes the use of the generated energy in-house, either by charging the batteries and/or feeding the energy loads.

In a simplistic way I guess it could be approximated by an off-grid system with unlimited backup-generator (grid).

I know this kind of typology can be simulated in other software, but how can we simulate it in PVsyst?

Thank you very much

Grid systems with battery storage are not a simple problem, and are not yet implemented in PVsyst.

Please see our FAQ Can I include a battery in a grid-connected system ?
