Simulação computacional para avaliação do uso de baterias para redução do pico de consumo de energia.

Abstract

Increasingly, the use of batteries for the use of energy from renewable sources, peak cuts, shifting demand for times when energy is cheaper, in cases of large storerooms, as well as improving the quality indices of the energy supplied by the concessionaire. Based on this scenario, the present study evaluates the most efficient way of using batteries for the case of consumers who use differentiated charging, Blue or Green Rate. The result of the study that was done based on the load profile of a phase of the CJ block belonging to the Federal University of Campina Grande showed that there are two schedules of high peak demand between 11h and 17h30min, making the use of energy unfeasible for charging the batteries. Finally, the study used previous work methodologies to size the bank of batteries that can be used for peak cutting of the studied load profile. The methodology relates the useful life in a cycling regime with the useful life in flotation to find an optimum discharge depth that increases the life of the batteries with the use of at most one daily discharge.
