Project Objective
This project aims to simulate a BESS peak-shaving controller that limits grid demand during peak load intervals while respecting battery SOC, power and energy constraints. It is suitable for engineering scholars and PhD researchers who need a clear model explanation, simulation workflow and thesis-ready result discussion.
System Architecture
The implementation can be organized as a modular research model with plant, controller, measurement and result-visualization blocks. This page is structured for literature extension, methodology writing and reproducible simulation reporting.
- time-varying load profile and peak demand threshold
- battery pack model with SOC and charge/discharge limits
- controller logic for grid power clipping and energy recovery
- measurement scopes for load, grid power, BESS power and SOC
Research Methodology
The recommended methodology begins with base-case modelling, parameter selection and initial validation. The next step is to introduce the control, energy-management, protection or fault-diagnosis algorithm and evaluate the system under carefully selected operating conditions. The final report should compare baseline and improved responses using measurable indicators.
Recommended Simulation Cases
- base load profile without peak shaving
- BESS discharge during peak demand intervals
- off-peak charging and SOC recovery
- sensitivity to threshold, battery rating and SOC limit
