The battery model employed by DER-VET uses three variables to characterize the state of the system – charge power (ch), discharge power (dis), and state of energy (ene). Two binary variables are also employed when the binary input is on to ensure that the storage system does not concurrently charge and discharge and to handle minimum power requirements.
The ultimate goal for battery storage is to flatten out the duck curve, lessen the load during peak load, eliminate the need to waste excess solar power and add incentives for renewable energy …
