Summary: This paper presents a model predictive control (MPC) based power management strategy for standalone PV/battery systems, equipped with an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) prediction method. The proposed strategy has effective power management capabilities, minimizes transients during disturbances, and automatically switches the operation of the PV between MPPT mode and power-curtailed mode to prevent overcharging of the battery and maximize PV utilization.

Summary: Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are a solution to address the negative impact of renewable energy sources (RES) on power systems, and they can improve the profitability of renewables by shifting energy to a higher price interval in the daily market (DM). This study proposes a dedicated control strategy for PV-BESS to maximize the DM revenue. The effectiveness of the algorithm is demonstrated through an example of real 1 MW PV data, showing a significant increase in the rate of return of the energy storage using the additional control mode.

Summary: This study proposes a model to evaluate the energy autonomy of a photovoltaic microgrid using a battery energy storage system. The model considers the energy consumption history of a residence and solar irradiation data to determine the optimal system sizing. The results show that the model is effective in determining the energy autonomy of the microgrid for different seasons, but adjustments are needed in winter to increase installation power and storage capacity.

Summary: Land use/cover change (LUCC) is the main factor contributing to changes in carbon storage in ecosystems. However, there are limited studies on the impact and driving mechanisms of LUCC on carbon storage at spatial-temporal scales. This study focuses on the Yellow River Basin (YRB) and analyzes LUCC from 2000 to 2020, predicts land use patterns in 2040 under different scenarios, and quantifies carbon storage using integrated models. The findings show significant LUCC in the YRB, an upward trend in carbon storage with woodland playing a key role, and the importance of converting built-up land for enhancing carbon sequestration efficiency. It emphasizes the need for ecological protection and low-carbon development in the YRB to ensure sustainable carbon storage.
