Dispatch Visualization
Battery meets portion of load Strategy
during peaks • Charge from grid 12-2 am
• Charge from excess PV
anytime available
PV system 4 kW • Discharge to meet load
for 2 kW peak during morning peak
load • Discharge to meet load
during evening peak
• Minimum SOC: 5%
Some PV still
available

Lifetime degradation and financials
• User input dispatch strategy,
Battery replacements
degradation, replacement criteria result in additional costs
and costs result in tailorable
replacement model.

HOMER Performance Comparison
System
• PV: 3.875 kWdc
• Inverter: 4.000 kWac
• Location: Phoenix, AZ
• Same load profile
• UPG UBGC2 AGM Lead-
Acid Battery (1.2 kWh)
Energy discharged
• Full SAM model results
in 23% less energy
discharged to load.
• Disabling SAM thermal
and lifetime models
gives results within 3%
RMSE: 8.62% of HOMER.

Demonstration
Steps:
1. Create a detailed PV case with Residential financial
model
2. Input details about location, PV system, battery
system
3. Tailor dispatch strategy to electricity rates
4. Compare payoff period to no-battery case
