Abstract
The increasing demand for renewable energy has led to the widespread adoption of solar PV systems; integrating these systems presents several challenges. These challenges include maintaining grid stability, voltage regulation, ensuring grid protection, adhering to grid codes and standards, achieving system flexibility, and addressing market and regulatory factors. This research paper is mainly focused on the design and construction of a grid-integated solar PV system with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to overcome these difficulties. To overcome these challenges, advanced control mechanisms, optimized energy management techniques, load shifting, peak demand reduction, and increased integration of renewable energy can be implemented. The grid-connected PV system with battery storage enables efficient solar energy utilisation, enhances stability, provides backup power during outages, and promotes cost savings for consumers and grid operators. The proposed model is simulated using Matlab Simulink, and the results are analyzed to assess the performance and effectiveness of the system.
