This innovative technology requires a comprehensive investigation to overcome the technical and economic issues, which are related to optimal storage system capacity and operational requirements. In this study, an extensive battery energy storage system (BESS) sizing method was proposed considering four variables: charging and discharging scheduling, state of charge, BESS rate energy and power capacity, and degradation effect in the state of health. The problem was divided into two stages: BESS sizing optimization and operation schedule optimization. Both stages are solved using the particle swarm optimization algorithm. The initial BESS sizing is performed randomly and then iteratively adjusted after optimally dispatching the BESS output from the preceding size selection using the particle swarm algorithm, considering the minimum state of the health limit to enhance the BESS lifecycle. The adjustment is done interactively by maximizing the rate of return on investment using the particle swarm optimization to generate the optimal BESS size. Finally, different technologies were evaluated to determine the shortest payback period. SN - 2690-1692 UR - https://doi.org/10.21926/jept.2504015 DO - 10.21926/jept.2504015 ID - Diouf2025 ER -
