Improved Forecasting-Based Battery Energy Management Strategy for Prosumer Systems

This work presents an energy management strategy based on scheduling battery operation in prosumer systems, according to forecast data available 24 hours in advance. The proposed method seeks to reach a beneficial compromise between prosumers and distribution grid operators, independently of specific economic context or technical regulations. An improvement to deal with forecast inaccuracy is carried out. Results demonstrate that it offers good properties regarding energy management, with a stored energy reserve estimation, battery lifetime preservation and self-consumption and self-sufficiency enhancement.
