The configuration of a solar photovoltaic system integrating energy storage in Portugal is yet unclear in the technical, energetic and economic point of view. The energy management jointly with the battery operation have great influence in the system configuration’s profitability value.
Concerning the current status of energy storage in Portugal, there is still a renewable energy surplus in the range of 800–1200 GW h ( Miguel et al., 2018) that is lost, mainly in Winter and Spring. Pumped hydro, based on reverse pumping systems installed in the large hydro plants is currently the dominant form of energy storage.
