Abstract
Optimization of Photovoltaic Self-consumption using Domestic Hot Water Systems
Highlights
The need to fight the greenhouse gas emissions and climate change requires urgent rethink of our energy paradigm
Levelized cost of energy and solar fraction sensitivity analysis for photovoltaic sizing The Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoE) and the solar fraction were calculated to understand the behaviour of each scenario according to the installed PV capacity
The LCoE curves for simple and Time Of Use (TOU) tariffs (Figure 3 and Figure 4, respectively) show a minimum for each scenario, which reports the optimal sizing of PV power installation
Summary
The need to fight the greenhouse gas emissions and climate change requires urgent rethink of our energy paradigm. The increase on both oil prices and energy consumption, Year 2018 Volume 6, Issue 2, pp 291-304 highlight this urgency and the energy markets has been responding with the development and integration of cleaner and renewable energy sources [1]. If the European Union targets for 2020 regarding energy performance on buildings are to be accomplished, in particular such as the Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB) directive, the increasing renewable energy at households allied with growing efficient processes/appliances and smarter use of energy, must be urgently encouraged and implemented [2]
