Self-consumption and self-sufficiency for household solar producers
The present study shows that residential households with in-house solar PV electricity generation can achieve the same levels of self-consumption and self-sufficiency with
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.
After establishing the limits of thermal storage size, a significant impact on self-efficiency can be realised through battery storage. This study demonstrates the feasibility of using a polyvalent heat pump together with water storage tanks and, ultimately, batteries to increase PV self-consumption and self-sufficiency.
Argyrou et al. (2021) used a special algorithm for power management to improve PV/storage energy self-consumption and self-sufficiency for the system that is not connected to the grid used to feed the building of the residential community building. The study tested two storage systems (batteries and supercapacitors).
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.
The authors investigated photovoltaic systems with/without using batteries, inflicting on their energy self-consumption. The results displayed by using data for the years 2016–2019 show that we can capture more than 300 tons of CO 2 /year for each 1 GWh/ year by increasing self-consumption by 34%.
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.
