The enhanced graphical tool employs new ways of utilising the recently introduced demand composite curve and supply composite curve while honouring and adapting fundamental energy systems engineering concepts. The SAHPPA method is capable of optimising the capacity of both the power generators and energy storage for biomass (i.e. non-intermittent) and solar photovoltaic (i.e. intermittent) energy technologies, which is a contribution to the emerging area of power pinch analysis. In addition, the procedure considers all possible efficiency losses in the overall system encompassing the charging-discharging and current inversion processes. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013. date: 2014 publisher: Springer Verlag official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84905693240&doi=10.1007%2fs10098-013-0700-9&partnerID=40&md5=0e4b656a6498ac6f3aa426c590ca9721 id_number: 10.1007/s10098-013-0700-9 full_text_status: none publication: Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy volume: 16 number: 5 pagerange: 957-970 refereed: TRUE issn: 1618954X citation: Ho, W.S. and Khor, C.S. and Hashim, H. and Macchietto, S. and Klemeš, J.J.
