Quantification of existing rooftop PV hourly generation capacity and validation against measurement data

Roberto Castello, Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Alina Ursula Rosa Walch

The spatio-temporal patterns of the existing rooftop photovoltaic (PV) production can provide valuable insights for the design of effective strategies for PV integration at large scale. In this work, we quantify the hourly production of existing rooftop PV ...

Parallel PV Configuration with Magnetic-Free Switched Capacitor Module-Level Converters for Partial Shading Conditions

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Remco Franciscus Peter van Erp, Georgios Kampitsis

In this paper, a module-level photovoltaic (PV) architecture in parallel configuration is introduced for maximum power extraction, under partial shading (PS) conditions. For the first time, a non-regulated switched capacitor (SC) nX converter is a used at ...

Designing and assessing solar energy neighborhoods from visual impact

Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Pietro Florio, Amarasinghage Tharindu Dasun Perera, Giuseppe Peronato

The optimal diffusion of Building Integrated PhotoVoltaics (BIPV) in cities requires diligent planning to arrange temporal and spatial distribution of energy, while preserving the aesthetics of city landscapes. Benefitting from an increasing quality of 3D ...

Optimal path to a high share of distributed PV in low-voltage distribution grids

Lionel Benjamin Bloch

To limit global warming, the energy transition from fossil fuels to renewables is one of the main challenges of this century. This transition will help decrease our CO2 emissions, create jobs, contribute to a broader revenues distribution, improve energy s ...

Mitigating the impact of distributed PV in a low-voltage grid using electricity tariffs

Christophe Ballif, Nicolas Würsch, Lionel Benjamin Bloch, Jordan Holweger

A high share of distributed photovoltaic (PV) generation in low-voltage networks may lead to over-voltage, and line/transformer overloading. To mitigate these issues, we investigate how advanced electricity tariffs could ensure safe grid operation while en ...

Big data mining for the estimation of hourly rooftop photovoltaic potential and its uncertainty

Roberto Castello, Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni, Alina Ursula Rosa Walch

The large-scale deployment of photovoltaics (PV) on building rooftops can play a significant role in the transition to a low-carbon energy system. To date, the lack of high-resolution building and environmental data and the large uncertainties related to e ...

Reliability and Performance of Model Predictive Control for Demand Response with Residential Heat Pumps

Frédéric Louis-Pierre Raphaël Marie Amblard

Distributed energy resources like solar panels and wind turbines are increasingly replacing fossil fuel energy sources. Due to their natural fluctuations they cause imbalance in the power grid when their production does not overlap with demand. Thus, there ...

Urban planning support based on the photovoltaic potential of buildings: a multi-scenario ranking system

Giuseppe Peronato

An increased use of renewable energy and of energy efficiency measures in buildings is needed to face the urgency of climate change. Buildings are in fact among the highest worldwide consumers of primary energy, mostly of fossil fuel origin, while still ma ...

The bright side of PV production in snow-covered mountains

Michael Lehning, Jérôme François Sylvain Dujardin, Annelen Kahl

Our work explores the prospect of bringing the temporal production profile of solar photovoltaics (PV) into better correlation with typical electricity consumption patterns in the midlatitudes. To do so, we quantify the potential of three choices for PV in ...

Glass-free lightweight PV building elements: solutions to minimize weight and maximize durability

Ana Cristina Oliveira Martins

In densely populated countries, little free land is available for the deployment of photovoltaics (PV) in field installations. In addition, 40% of the world's demand for electricity is related to buildings. These facts provide a strong argument for the acc ...
