An Assessment of the Optimal Capacity and an Economic Evaluation of a Sustainable Photovoltaic Energy System in Korea

The purpose of this study is to conduct an economic evaluation of a photovoltaic-energy storage system (PV–ESS system) based on the power generation performance data of photovoltaic operations in Korea, and to calculate the optimal capacity of the energy storage system. In this study, PV systems in...
