摘要:ABSTRACTVariable nature of solar energy leads to inconsistent performance of photovoltaic systems. Integration of photovoltaic systems with storage and grid mitigates variability issues and helps maximise self-consumption. This work presents a design methodology for a grid-connected photovoltaic system integrated with storage to meet an annual hourly average demand of 135 kWh of an establishment situated in northern India which receives a daily average solar insolation of 5.16 kWh/m2. System design has been carried out to meet the energy demand at minimised annualised cost. The annualised cost of the optimised system has been found to be US$115184.20/year. Analysis shows that the proposed model results in reduction in annualised cost by 32.27% and a net reduction in emissions by 610 MT as compared with the traditional grid power. Furthermore, multi-objective optimisation carried out to explore system design trade-offs between annualised cost, peak to average ratio of grid energy, and emissions, indicates that overall reduction in emissions by 15% could be obtained at 6.5% increased cost. It is also observed that reduction in grid-outages by 25% leads to reduction in AC by as high as 42.4%.
