Abstract

The integration of solar energy into sustainable energy systems faces the challenge of intermittency, where peak generation occurs during the day, while peak demand occurs in the evening. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) enable peak shaving by storing excess energy generated during the day and discharging it during peak demand periods, thereby enhancing grid stability. In addition to reducing operational costs and optimizing energy infrastructure, BESS also contributes to lowering greenhouse gas emissions and decreasing reliance on fossil fuels. In this study, a simulation was conducted using MATLAB R2021A to model the load profile before and after BESS integration, as well as solar energy utilization. The simulation results indicate that the load profile decreased from 400 kW to 300 kW, leading to an overall reduction of 100 kW. These findings confirm that BESS implementation is effective in supporting peak shaving and enhancing the efficiency of renewable energy utilization in solar power systems.
