 Self-consumption

• In the “PV window”, i.e., when PV is active

[t = 1 for hourly data, = 1/4 for quarter-of-

an-hour data]

• Self-consumption is

 Energy storage system (ESS)
constraints & important variables

• Maximum number of cycles: 5000

• ESS cost: 300 €/kWh (you can try different scenarios, only
downward)
• Specific energy: 200 Wh/kg
• Specific power: 300 W/kg
• How to evaluate the SoC? [t = 1 for hourly data, = 1/4 for
quarter-of-an-hour data]

 Energy storage system (ESS)
constraints & important variables

• How to evaluate the number of cycles? [N is the total no. of

samples]

• Warning: by using ESS, self-consumption is altered (or it

should be)

 Energy storage system (ESS)
nominal power & energy

• How to choose nominal power and energy?

 Net present value

• The net present value (NPV) is a way to “translate”

(technically, discount) future cash flows over Y years (20 years
in our case) at the time of the analysis (present).
• It takes into account the discount rate (r)

• Discount rate : Interest Swap Rate (IRS) @15y = 3.28%

 General review

• Evaluate the costs of the PV plant

• Consider a 25% discount only on hardware
• Consider a +15% increase for installation
• Evaluate the costs of the ESS
• Evaluate the daily management of the whole system (i.e., load, PV,
and ESS)
• Evaluate NPV (over 20 years)
• Two basic scenarios:
• w/o ESS (initial cash flow is only PV costs)
• w ESS (initial cash flow is PV + ESS costs, and possibly a
replacement at some time)
• Evaluate the costs of the energy drawn from the grid
• Evaluate the revenues from selling energy to the grid (the difference
will give you the yearly cash flows)
