• openAccess   Daily Solar Energy Estimation for Minimizing Energy Storage Requirements in PV Power Plants 

      Beltran, Hector; Pérez, Emilio; Aparicio, N.; Rodríguez, Pedro Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) (2013)
      This paper proposes an optimized energy management strategy (EMS) for photovoltaic (PV) power plants with energy storage (ES) based on the estimation of the daily solar energy production. This EMS produces a constant-by-hours ...
    • openAccess   Predictive Power Control for PV Plants With Energy Storage 

      Pérez, Emilio; Beltran, Hector; Aparicio, N.; Rodríguez, Pedro Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) (2013)
      This work presents a model predictive control (MPC) approach to manage in real-time the energy generated by a grid-tied photovoltaic (PV) power plant with energy storage (ES), optimizing its economic revenue. This MPC ...
