Impacts of Dispatch Strategies and Forecast Errors on the Economics of Behind-the-Meter PV-Battery Systems
To assess the economic value of batteries in hybrid PV-battery systems, one must create a dispatch profile for the battery. Many analyses of battery value assume perfect forecasts of PV generation and load, determining an upper limit on the value of the battery. Prior work that ac...

Security-Constrained Design of Isolated Multi-Energy Microgrids
Energy supply in rural and off-grid communities has traditionally relied on diesel-based microgrids, due to limited access. But global environmental concerns are pushing for the transformation of these systems into renewable-based microgrids. This transition to more complex system...
