Abstract
This paper presents the analysis of connected operation of photo voltaic source and Li energy storage system. The micro-grid has been installed and operated for several years at the campus of USF and has been a role of test bed. Photo voltaic source has been strongly influenced by the location, weather and climate of a installed area and Li battery is connected directly to the photo voltaic source to compensate for the limitations. The Li battery is operated to supply power output to the grid by the charging or discharging mode based on the average power output of the PV source which is calculated from monitored data for several years. The load of the PV and Li battery system is operated as a severe loading condition and the operating characteristics of PV source and Li battery are analyzed in detail. In connected operations of PV and Li battery to power system, the PV and Li battery is operated to supply constant power during only day time or peak time to increase load shedding ratio and efficient usage of generation sources in power system.
