Abstract
The purpose of this work is to combine the attributes of different battery technologies into one energy storage system (ESS) for residential customers. A selection of the leading battery technologies currently used were performed. The technologies evaluated in this work were: Lead Acid, and Lithium-Ion. Using MATLAB/Simulink, a case study with real data of temperature, irradiance and residential load behavior from Puerto Rico, was implemented in a scenario of a residential grid-tied PV system with batteries under net-metering agreement. The performance of the system using a single battery technology and using a hybrid battery bank that combines both Lead Acid and Lithium-Ion is compared. Finally, the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) of the system is determined.
