Optimized Charge Controller Schedule in Hybrid Solar-Battery Farms for Peak Load Reduction

The goal of this paper is to optimally combine day-ahead solar and demand forecasts for the optimal battery schedule of a hybrid solar and battery farm connected to a distribution station. The objective is to achieve the maximum daily peak load reduction and charge battery with maximum solar photovo...
