“…The configuration of Figure 2d is less known and less widespread than the previous two configurations; it is more expensive but also advantageous in case of weak distribution grid, when the hybrid system is often forced to operate in www.videleaf.com islanded mode [44]. Supposing a blackout or an excessive deviation of the amplitude or frequency of the voltage at the point of common coupling, the relay that connects the hybrid system to the grid opens; the converter D' performs a seamless transition from grid-connected to islanded mode as to ensure in the local grid of the hybrid system a stable voltage, close to the reference values [45,46].…”

The temporal resolution of the demand and generation profiles may have a significant impact on the estimation of selfsufficiency and self-consumption for consumers and prosumers. As an example, measuring the load profile with a low temporal resolution may lead to the underestimation of energy consumption while measuring the solar irradiation with a low temporal resolution may lead to the overestimation of the on-site energy generation. Storage systems may reduce the errors due to the lower temporal resolution by 8-10 times or even more, depending on the capacity of the batteries. Besides selfgeneration and self-consumption, there are other indicators that can be influenced by the temporal resolution that deserve to be investigated. www.videleaf.com estimation of the batteries through the calculation of the equivalent number of cycles.

“…Finally, apart from encoding task execution for autonomous agents and humans, BTs have been also been used to run simpler automated systems, such as smart homes. The reactivity of the BTs can be exploited to control a domestic power grid, by balancing loads and engaging local back-up power production when needed [15,18,60], or control the activation of lighting or smart appliances based on human actions [49].…”

The temporal resolution of the demand and generation profiles may have a significant impact on the estimation of self-sufficiency and self-consumption for consumers and prosumers. As an example, measuring the load profile, with a low temporal resolution, may lead to the under-estimation of energy consumption, while measuring solar irradiation with a low temporal resolution may lead to the over-estimation of on-site energy generation. Storage systems may reduce errors due to the lower temporal resolution by 8–10 times or even more, depending on the capacity of the batteries. Besides self-generation and self-consumption, there are other indicators that can be influenced by temporal resolution that deserve to be investigated. This is a detailed study of the influence of temporal resolution and the time averaging on a hybrid photovoltaic-battery system; this study encompasses both economic and technical aspects, from the calculation of savings on the electricity bill to the estimation of the equivalent cycles of battery storage system. To this end, the three-minute load profile of a real case study is used to obtain other three load profiles with temporal resolution equal to 15, 30, and 60 min via data averaging. Therefore, the authors analyze the influence and the impact of temporal resolution and data averaging in terms of: The size of the photovoltaic generator and the capacity of the storage system; the savings in the electricity bill and the balance between costs and savings; the peak values and the average values of power flows during high generation and low generation; the profile of the storage system over the year; the utilization rate of the storage system and the rated power of the electronic converter that regulates the charge and the discharge; the profile of the state of charge of the storage system and the life-time estimation of batteries through the calculation of the equivalent number of cycles.
