Photovoltaic cells or so-called solar cell is the heart of solar energy conversion to electrical energy (Kabir et al. 2018). Without any involvement in the thermal process, the photovoltaic cell can transform solar energy directly into electrical energy. Compared to conventional methods, PV modules are advantageous in terms of reliability, modularity,
For clear understandings of how PV-BESS integrated energy systems are obtaining profits, a cost–benefit analysis is required to find out the optimal total net present cost (NPC) and each year''s net present value (NPV), as well as the discounted payback period (DPP).
When estimating the cost of the "photovoltaic + energy storage" system in this project, since the construction of the power station is based on the original site of the existing thermal power unit, it is necessary to consider the impact of depreciation, site, labor, tax and other relevant parameters on the actual cost. According to the
