Analysis on The Economic and Environmental Benefits of Intelligent Factory with Photovoltaic and Energy Storage

Abstract

The rapid development of industry requires a large amount of electricity consumption, electricity generated by the use of generator sets at the same time also caused greenhouse gas emissions. While increasing production, factories also face the dilemma of reducing power consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and operating costs. To this end, the factory needs to ensure the economy, at the same time, with the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction, the use of renewable energy technology, the establishment of photovoltaic and energy storage of smart factory. Taking a smart factory with photovoltaic and energy storage as the research object, the sensitivity analysis of the energy system cost, bank interest rate, pollutant emission and other factors of the smart factory was conducted to obtain the relationship between the photovoltaic energy storage system and the production benefit of the factory and pollutant emission. The results show that the introduction of photovoltaic and energy storage can effectively reduce the emission of pollutants in factories, but in order to meet the goal of the comprehensive optimization of power supply economy, reliability and environmental friendliness, it is still necessary to formulate a reasonable energy scheduling strategy and develop low-cost and large-capacity energy storage devices.
