Optimization of photovoltaic solar electric power for renewable energy generation and DSM strategies in singular apartment buildings

Abstract

This work presents a procedure of optimization (algorithms) for the supervision, control, and management of photovoltaic solar electric power (PVSEP) in singular buildings dedicated mainly to apartments. The basic principles of performance are kept within two big guidelines denominated Renewable Energy Generation (REG) and Demand Side Management (DSM). From the point of view of GER it is assumed that the more electric power is generated -and therefore sent to the electric netthe more income will be obtained. On the other hand, distribution electric nets recently are having problems of apparent impossibility to attend to the demand peaks. For these reasons, from the energetic efficiency point of view it is very interesting to develop a system able to reduce the demand peaks of the buildings, that is to say, to use DSM techniques. Some procedures (algorithms) useful to justify the installation of photovoltaic panels in buildings have been obtained and are presented in this paper. These procedures are expected to be the core of quality scientific production in our group, including some patented designs and utility models.
