Optimal Sizing and Planning for Energy Storage Systems

This lecture discusses the challenges of integrating renewable energy resources into the grid, focusing on optimal sizing and planning of energy storage systems. The instructor presents a novel approach that incorporates flexible resources like PV and HVAC systems to reduce the size of energy storage systems needed for grid stability. Through a simulation, the lecture demonstrates how this approach can achieve perfect dispatch tracking and zero curtailment of PV, ultimately leading to a more efficient and cost-effective energy system.
