    Economic feasibility studies of simple and discounted payback periods for 1 MWp ground mounted solar PV plant at tirupati airport
    (wiley, 2022) Mohan, K.S.; Mahapatra, S.; Febin, J.L.F.; Perumal, T.; Raj, S.; Prabhakaran, P.
    Impending exhaustion of fossil fuels and concerns related to environmental pollution and climate changes have led to extensive usage of renewable energy sources in the utility grid. Among the renewable energy sources, solar photovoltaics (PVs) are gaining popularity and are considered a potential solution for future electrical energy crises. Despite the technical benefits of solar PV, an economic feasibility analysis is critical in assessing the viability of a long-term solar PV project. In this chapter, the economic feasibility of a ground-mounted solar PV system at Tirupati Airport, India, is carried out considering two leading economic indices-simple payback period (SPP) and discounted payback period (DPP). The performance analysis between the two payback periods and a comparison table is presented. Finally, better energy-efficient measures like replacing the existing CFLs with LEDs are highlighted in this chapter to reduce operational costs and energy consumption, resulting in direct monetary benefits. © 2022 Scrivener Publishing LLC.

    Li-ion Battery Energy Storage Management System for Solar PV
    (Springer, 2024) Chaitrashree, C.N.; Kashyap, Y.; Sidharthan, P.V.
    Battery storage has become the most extensively used Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) solution due to its versatile functionality. This chapter aims to review various energy storage technologies and battery management systems for solar PV with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). Solar PV and BESS are key components of a sustainable energy system, offering a clean and efficient renewable energy source. A background study on existing ESS, its advantages, and issues are detailed with the vital role of battery energy storage technologies, specifically LiBs, their characteristics, and SoC estimation techniques. Further, the chapter highlights integrating Battery Management Systems (BMS) with PV and BESS to ensure the efficient and reliable operation of the energy storage system. The major research gap/challenge is related to the less consideration given in terms of power consumption reduction and cost minimization, which forms multiple objective problem-solving. Multi-objective optimization with type 2 fuzzy controllers can achieve these objectives. © 2024, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
