Abstract

This paper presents a new hybrid battery charging strategy with the energy sources both from PV (Photovoltaic) panels and the grid. This strategy can achieve the optimal economic benefits for PV customers in areas with continuous grid supply. A mathematical model of this charging strategy is developed and programmed. Local residential PV customers' energy bills are significantly reduced by using this charging strategy. In addition, a classic financial model, Net Present Value (NPV), is utilized to forecast the return on investing of the battery system with multiple purchase options for residential customers. The analysis result provides a practical reference for customers who want to invest in the battery storage system.
