“…Besides investments and dispatch, Marwitz and Elsland (2018), Moshövel et al (2015), andNeetzow et al (2019) discuss whether and under which regulatory circumstances prosumage may require expanding the electricity distribution grid infrastructure. In contrast, Young et al (2019) conclude for an Australian region that benefits from reduced peak grid demand may outweigh foregone revenues from self-consumption for network operators.…”

We analyze how tariff design incentivizes households to invest in residential photovoltaic and battery systems, and explore selected power sector effects. To this end,we apply an open-source power system model featuring prosumage agents to German 2030 scenarios. Results show that lower feed-in tariffs substantially reduce investments in photovoltaics, yet optimal battery sizing and self-generation are relatively robust. With increasing fixed parts of retail tariffs, optimal battery capacities and self-generation are smaller, and households contribute more to non-energy power sector costs. When choosing tariff designs, policy makers should not aim to (dis-)incentivize prosumage as such, but balance effects on renewable capacity expansion and system cost contribution.

“…The aim is to examine the extent to which the installation and operation of systems that contribute to the creation of energy self-sufficiency, with regard to electricity and heat in the private sector, is economical when building a new single-family house in Germany. The aim here is not to achieve an off-grid solution -there is no connection of the considered system to the environment -but to retain the connection to the public grid in order to be able to maintain a corresponding degree of flexibility (Netzow et al 2019) in the investigation of the various possible scenarios.…”

The energy self-sufficiency of private households is a very interesting topic against the background of the current developments in the world, such as power failures as a result of weather catastrophes and new infrastructure challenges as a result of transport electrification. There are various options available for achieving this goal. In the context of this work, a newly built single-family house in Germany with a photovoltaic system with a power storage system and a heat pump with surface heat collectors will be used to investigate whether energy autarky (for electricity and heat) can be economically designed - in comparison to a classic energy supply with electricity from the grid, and a gas condensing boiler heating system. The results show that, through the high gas and electricity prices, scenarios in Germany allow such an economical operation compared to the classic energy supply. However, a condition for this is always that there is a connection to the grid in order to be able to compensate for the differences between electricity supply and demand.

Summary In the modern world, only conventional energy resources cannot fulfil the growing energy demand. Electricity is a fundamental building block of a technological revolution. Today, most of the electricity demand is met by the burning of fossil fuels but at the cost of adverse environmental impact. In order to bridge the gap between electricity demand and supply, nonconventional and eco‐friendly means of energy generation are considered. Renewable energy systems (RESs) offer an adequate solution to mitigate the challenges originated due to greenhouse gasses (GHG). However, they have an unpredictable power generation with specific site requirements. Grid integration of RESs may lead to new challenges related to power quality, reliability, power system stability, harmonics, subsynchronous oscillations (SSOs), power quality, and reactive power compensation. The integration with energy storage systems (ESSs) can reduce these complexities that arise due to the intermittent nature of RESs. In this paper, a comprehensive review of renewable energy sources has been presented. Application of ESSs in RESs and their development phase has been discussed. Role of ESSs in increasing lifetime, efficiency, and energy density of power system having RESs has been reviewed. Moreover, different techniques to solve the critical issues like low efficiency, harmonics, and inertia reduction in photovoltaic (PV) systems have been presented. Unlike most of the available review papers, this article also investigates the impact of FACTS technology in RESs‐based power system using multitype flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) controllers. Three simulation models have been developed in MATLAB/Simulink. The results show that FACTS devices help to maintain the stability of RESs integrated power system. This review paper is believed to be of potential benefit for researchers from both the industry and academia to develop better understanding of challenges and solution techniques for REs‐based power systems and future research dimensions in this area.
