Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation Sharing

What are the different types of energy sharing within a solar powered building community?

In this study, the energy sharing within a solar powered building community is further classified into two types: surplus sharing (i.e. use the surplus PV power to meet the electricity needs in other buildings) and storage sharing (i.e. store or take electricity from other buildings’ batteries).

Can a solar PV-MHP hybrid system share power with SV-based SPV?

This study has introduced the power-sharing of SV-based SPV with an MHP hybrid system using the power angle variation method in the SV. Hence, this study presents a theoretical basis for a Solar PV-MHP hybrid system using synchronous machines in MHP and SPV in SV as a power source.

Can basic energy sharing improve PV power self-consumption?

A study conducted in Ref. shows that a basic energy sharing among 21 residential buildings in Sweden, i.e. aggregate the electricity demand and supply of all the buildings, can easily improve the PV power self-consumption by over 15%.

Can energy storage systems improve performance in solar power shared building communities?

Analyze detailed energy sharing processes in a Swedish building community. Proper energy storage system design is important for performance improvements in solar power shared building communities. Existing studies have developed various design methods for sizing the distributed batteries and shared batteries.

What is solar photovoltaic (SPV)?

Among all renewable sources, Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) systems-based hybrid systems and distributed generations are getting more attraction worldwide (Singh et al., 2016). SPV possesses a simple design, long operation life, and does not produce any further pollution during energy provision (Rahimpour et al., 2019).

What are the characteristics of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems?

Consistently lower equipment prices, a high level of modularity, a relatively easy installation, and elevated social acceptance are important characteristics of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems that explain the broad application of this renewable source in distributed generation systems [ 10, 11 ].
