To maximize the contributions while minimizing the price of the installations, the Optimal Sizing Calculator computes the optimal sizes of a 🔆 photovoltaic (PV) and a 🔋 battery energy storage system (BESS) for a site. Those sizes are peak power of the PV system, energy capacity of the BESS, and power converter rated power of the BESS. The calculator uses typical yearly consumption profiles of a variety of consumers, but if you have your own consumption profile recorded you can use it to calculate your optimal parameters more accurately. In the Repository below you can find the tool in 5 languages: Please follow the instructions in the README text document and the User Manual in the zip folder carefully before working with the calculator. You can also watch our video tutorials: If you have problems with the tool, feel free to contact us: The tool was developed within the project Store4HUC, funded through 🇪🇺 Interreg Central Europe programme. |
