Feasibility Evaluation and Application Practice of Distributed Photovoltaic Power Generation in Large Commercial Buildings

Abstract

Large commercial complex projects have the characteristics of large roof area and high electricity price, and the development of distributed photovoltaic power generation has great potential. In this paper, a feasibility evaluation model of distributed photovoltaic power generation in large commercial buildings is established from the aspects of solar energy resources, power generation, economics and environmental benefits. A commercial complex photovoltaic project in Jinan is used as an example. In the case of fully considering the project operating cost and environmental benefits, the feasibility of the project under different power consumption modes is analyzed. The research results show that the economy of large-scale commercial distributed photovoltaic power generation projects in class III solar resource areas such as Jinan is directly related to the power consumption mode. When the “spontaneous self-use” mode is adopted, the economic benefits of the project are good and the feasibility is strong; When the “excess electricity goes into the power grid” mode is adopted, the economic benefits gradually deteriorate with the increase of the proportion into the power grid, but considering the environmental protection benefits of photovoltaic power generation projects, it is still feasible; When the “full the power goes into the power grid” mode is adopted, the economic benefit is poor, and the project is basically not feasible.
