The general progress in the field of energy over the last decade, particularly in energy storage technologies, indicates that storing large amounts of energy could soon become widely commercialized, all with the aim of maximizing energy efficiency in the balance between production and consumption, eliminating losses, and consequently preserving the environment. The focus of our work is the feasibility analysis of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), with an emphasis on analyzing such systems for the "BIŠĆE" photovoltaic power plant with a capacity of 1MW, which will be installed on the roof of the shopping park of the same name in northwestern Bosnia.
The main issues addressed in this thesis are the technical feasibility and economic viability of the mentioned systems. In terms of technical feasibility, we examined how currently available technologies can effectively store and release energy to meet the energy needs of the shopping park. Regarding economic viability, we assessed the cost-effectiveness of these systems, including calculations of returns, payback periods, and total cost savings over specific timeframes.
We also considered the potential revenue from selling excess energy back to the grid and concluded that, although technically fully feasible, the integration of the energy storage system with the "BIŠĆE" photovoltaic power plant is not yet economically justified.
