Simulating a Standalone PV + Battery System Independent of the Grid

Hello,I am exploring the feasibility of simulating a standalone PV + Battery system, specifically one that operates independently and does not interact with the grid. My inquiry arises from noticing the option for simulating battery dispatch in relation to grid transactions, but my focus is on designing an isolated, grid-independent system. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or ideas for implementation, whether directly within the SAM software or through PySAM.Thank you in advance for your guidance.
Best regards,
Francisco

Hi Francisco,

SAM is designed to model grid-connected systems. To approximate an off-grid system, you can design the system to minimize the use of grid power, or you can use grid power to represent power from a generator or other off-grid source.

You can also search the forum for "off-grid" to find other discussions on this topic.

Best regards,
Paul.
