Can solar energy storage systems improve self-consumption and self-sufficiency?
As energy storage systems are typically not installed with residential solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, any “excess” solar energy exceeding the house load remains unharvested or is exported to the grid. This paper introduces an approach towards a system design for improved PV self-consumption and self-sufficiency.
Can a PV storage system optimize self-sufficiency and self-consumption?
The present paper proposes a methodology to optimize the self-sufficiency and the self-consumption, or the economic return, of a PV storage system. However, with respect to most of the works in the literature, the effects for domestic users due to imposing different levels of limitation on the maximum injection into the grid are evaluated.
Can a solar energy system reduce energy consumption?
The results reveal that the proposed system could increase PV self-consumption and self-sufficiency to 41.96% and 86.34%, respectively, resulting in the annual imported energy being reduced by about 74%.
What are the benefits of self-production of electricity from renewable sources?
The self-production of electricity from renewable sources for self-consumption generates immediate positive effects, such as the reduction of grid energy losses, the mitigation of congestion problems, and a reduced need for modernization of electrical infrastructures by integrating renewable distributed generation into the electricity system .
Does shared energy storage improve self-consumption?
As a result, shared energy storage increased self-consumption rates up to 11% within the prosumer community. The proposed method provides significant economic benefits and improved power quality. Additionally, prosumers need an ESS to improve self-consumption, especially as renewable penetration levels increase in the power grid.
How to increase self-consumption and self-sufficiency in electric power systems?
In the literature, many techniques are presented to achieve high levels of self-sufficiency and self-consumption. The most common solution to increase self-consumption and self-sufficiency is the integration of energy storage. An overview of the main energy storage technologies used in electric power systems is presented in [9, 10].
