Battery Energy Storage System Model

BESS are commonly used for load leveling, peak shaving, load shifting applications and etc.

BESS are commonly used for load leveling, peak shaving, load shifting applications and etc.

This BESS Block takes hourly Load Profile (kW) input from workspace and compute the Grid and Battery usage output to workspace.

The load profile has to be prepared in two column format, where the first column is time starting from 0 hour of the day. The second column is power consumption in kW unit. (For example, load the SampleLoadProfile.mat into workspace).

The simulation run time is in hourly unit starting from 0 hour of the day. For example to simulate a 24 hours load profile, the simulation run time is set to 23, one week run time is set to 167, one month 30 days run time is set to 719 and 31 days run time set to 743.

In model configuration parameters under Solver options, set to fixed-step type and set the fixed-step size (fundamental sample time) to 1 and run the simulation.
