Photovoltaic systems coupled with batteries that are optimally sized for household self-consumption : Assessment of peak shaving potential

TLDR
In this article, the optimal sizing of batteries for household self-consumption is combined with peak shaving at district level, whereas previous studies only looked at these questions in isolation, the authors focus on a solution for one of these challenges, namely the employment of batteries to address the mismatch in electrical power between electricity supply from photovoltaic systems and household electricity demand.
