How large a capacity of distributed photovoltaic power generation is suitable for energy storage

Will distributed solar PV capacity grow by 2024?

Globally, distributed solar PV capacity is forecast to increase by over 250% during the forecast period, reaching 530 GW by 2024 in the main case. This expansion more than doubles compared with the previous six-year period, with the share of distributed applications in total solar PV capacity growth increasing from 36% to 45%.

What determines the optimal configuration capacity of photovoltaic and energy storage?

The optimal configuration capacity of photovoltaic and energy storage depends on several factors such as time-of-use electricity price, consumer demand for electricity, cost of photovoltaic and energy storage, and the local annual solar radiation.

What is the expected growth rate of distributed solar PV capacity?

Globally, distributed solar PV capacity is forecast to increase by over 250% during the forecast period, reaching 530 GW by 2024 in the main case.

What is the energy storage capacity of a photovoltaic system?

The photovoltaic installed capacity set in the figure is 2395kW. When the energy storage capacity is 1174kW h, the user’s annual expenditure is the smallest and the economic benefit is the best. Fig. 4. The impact of energy storage capacity on annual expenditures.

Are distributed solar PV systems better than large-scale PV plants?

In recent years, the advantages of distributed solar PV (DSPV) systems over large-scale PV plants (LSPV) has attracted attention, including the unconstrained location and potential for nearby power utilization, which lower transmission cost and power losses .

Do distributed photovoltaic systems contribute to the power balance?

Tom Key, Electric Power Research Institute. Distributed photovoltaic (PV) systems currently make an insignificant contribution to the power balance on all but a few utility distribution systems.
