Summary Egypt is a country with high solar energy potential and the exploitation of such promising energy resource is critical for national sustainable development through efficient energy planning with gradual independence from fossil fuels. Successive incentive polices had been introduced by the Egyptian electricity authority to encourage the deployment of small‐scale residential rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems. This article studies the techno‐economic feasibility of grid‐connected rooftop PV system in Egypt under the currently applied retail electricity price and the net energy metering policy. The study investigates three types of residential households with different electricity demand levels; low, medium, and high consumptions. The economic evaluation of various sizes of the PV system is carried out based on different economic measures such as net present value, cost of energy, payback period, and electricity bill saving. Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Resources software has been utilized to carry out such economic evaluation. The results identify that the viability of PV installation in residential applications is clearly affected by the energy consumption pattern, the parameters of the incentive policy applied, and the economical indices of the system.

“…An alternate policy framework that has been widely implemented around the world in order to promote the deployment of solar PV systems is incentivized self-consumption. In a recent study, Pacudan [32] evaluated the possible options and assessed the impact of the possible implementation of a feed-in tariff and a net metering and billing scheme, including an upfront payment subsided for net metering and a premium payment for exported electricity in Brunei Darussalam. Tilman and Engelmeier highlighted how long-term rents for future energy technologies could be assured even in a developing country suffering severe energy deficits.…”

A Multi-Agent Social Gamification Model to Guide Sustainable Urban Photovoltaic Panels Installation Policies

et al. 2019

The paper presents a holistic and quantitative model of social gamification in a smart city, which is likely to stimulate the photovoltaic panels installation. The coupling of multi-agent systems, GIS tools, demographic data, and a spatial knowledge base made it possible to develop and calibrate a computable model of social interaction in a “model smart city,” as well as to quantitatively evaluate the deployment of photovoltaic panels. It also enabled the analysis of factors affecting the efficiency of this process, e.g., the photovoltaic potential of solar roofs, the ownership of buildings, the type of building development, the level of social trust, institutional and social incentives, and the development of an information society. The devised model is tested on the city of Warsaw, utilizing spatial and descriptive data provided by city authorities.

“…The PV system is envisaged as a key RE system in the energy transition. The works examining the benefits and economic feasibility of the PV system in the ASEAN context are developing in recent years [10][11][12][13][14][15]. Further widespread of the PV system in ASEAN requires more research and development [16].…”

Environmental, energy security and electricity demand concerns stimulate solar-grid integration. However, intermittent, non-dispatchable PV characteristics may challenge passive grid operation. This paper contains the comprehensive planning and assessment of a 2 MWp CdTe-based PV system deployment proposed for hybrid operation in an isolated 11 kV 10-bus microgrid in Brunei. The presented approach combinedly assesses PV system performance and scenario-based interconnection impacts based on a detailed PV system model considering deployment conditions. Various interconnection points with multiple sets of feeder-specific measured load profiles are examined. Results show the PV system designed for maximum annual generation achieves performance ratio of 90.6%. While time-series power flow assessment reveals grid operation enhancement, there are concerns at times of generation-demand mismatch requiring proper genset sequencing and reactive power management. Meanwhile, faster relay operating time and reverse fault current are demonstrated in existing protection scheme. Dynamic grid stabilities are preserved in various generation intermittency and loss events, including the most challenging condition of further inertia and spinning reserve reduction reaching a frequency of 96.02%. Finally, optimal interconnection point fulfilling multiobjectives on losses, voltage profile and line reserve capacity is identified. The findings indicate a good prospect of the synergy for advancing energy transition. The analysis could facilitate RE planning and policymaking.
