Profit analysis of ecological photovoltaic energy storage system

What is a photovoltaic (PV) system?

When combined with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and grid loads, photovoltaic (PV) systems offer an efficient way of optimizing energy use, lowering electricity expenses, and improving grid resilience.

Can a photovoltaic system use batteries as energy storage devices?

This work aims to develop a theoretical and computational model for the techno-economic analysis of a photovoltaic (PV) system with and without the use of batteries as energy storage devices. A comprehensive literature review was first performed on PV systems with renewable energy integrated systems.

Why is the integrated photovoltaic-energy storage-charging station underdeveloped?

The coupled photovoltaic-energy storage-charging station (PV-ES-CS) is an important approach of promoting the transition from fossil energy consumption to low-carbon energy use. However, the integrated charging station is underdeveloped. One of the key reasons for this is that there lacks the evaluation of its economic and environmental benefits.

What is the capacity optimization model of integrated photovoltaic-energy storage-charging station?

The capacity optimization model of the integrated photovoltaic- energy storage-charging station was built. The case study bases on the data of 21 charging stations in Beijing. The construction of the integrated charging station shows the maximum economic and environment benefit in hospital and minimum in residential.

How to assess the profitability of a PV & BES system?

The purchase price and the percentage of energy-self-consumption play a crucial role in the profitability assessment of a PV + BES system. Incentive policies based on subsidized tax deductions and subsidies for energy produced and self-consumed can enable a more sustainable energy future in the residential sector.

Are solar PV modules cost-effective?

Rashwan et al. conducted a cost-effectiveness and environmental feasibility analysis on shifting the power supply from the electrical grid to renewable energy supplied by solar PV modules in a small building situated in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. Based on the international PV Project Model, the PV power plant was assessed with a capacity of 12 kW.
