Abstract:
Solar installations are becoming popular around the
world and have emerged as a promising solution to address
the increased energy needs while reducing carbon emissions. To
harness the full potential of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems,
efficient resource management systems play a vital role. This
research paper proposes an efficient solar PV energy resource
management system to optimize performance and increase the
profits of the prosumers. Utility providers have introduced several
tariff systems for the financial motivation of customers. In the
proposed method, the load demand and Solar PV generation are
forecasted for the next 48 hours using the Long Short-Term Memory
(LSTM) model. Then, the cost function is optimized using
the Sequential Least Squares Programming (SLSQP) algorithm,
and an energy dispatch schedule is provided for the customer.
The results of the study show that the electricity cost is reduced
for the prosumer by the proposed method than the conventional
rule-based energy management systems.
