| Sumario: | This project investigates the technical and economic feasibility of integrating a battery storage system into the photovoltaic installation that supplies energy to Saica Pack, a cardboard production facility located in Amposta, Spain. The study addresses the challenges posed by the intermittent nature of solar energy, particularly in industrial environments with variable production cycles, and evaluates how battery storage can improve energy efficiency, enhance self-consumption, and reduce reliance on the electricity grid. The project includes a comprehensive review of Spain’s renewable energy landscape, an in depth analysis of the plant’s energy consumption profile, and a comparative evaluation of battery technologies. A custom simulation model was developed to assess different storage scenarios based on real production and consumption data. The analysis incorporates technical, economic, and environmental perspectives, with the aim of identifying a battery configuration that aligns with Saica’s operational needs and long-term sustainability goals. The findings are intended to serve as a reference for similar industrial facilities considering the integration of storage solutions into their renewable energy systems. |
