Performance and Economic Assessment of a Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Power Plant with a Storage System: A Comparison between the North and the South of Italy

Abstract: Grid-connected low voltage photovoltaic power plants cover most of the power capacity installed in Italy. They offer an important contribution to the power demand of the utilities connected but, due to the nature of the solar resource, the night-time consumption can be satisfied only withdrawing the energy by the national grid, at the price of the energy distributor. Thanks to the improvement of storage technologies, the installation of a system of battery looks like a promising solution by giving the possibil… Show more

“…Chiacchio et al [41] analyze a domestic PV plant connected to the grid, evaluated in different geographical locations. In their study, they assess how different environmental conditions can affect not only the energy production and self-consumption regimes, but also the aging of the system components, especially in the storage system.…”

“…Chiacchio et al [41] argue that the main efficiency degradation process depends on meteorological factors, such as wind speed, passing clouds in PV units, incident irradiance, and ambient temperature. Higher daily energy production of PV plants, due to the increase in efficiency, causes a greater return on investment [23].…”

“…Based on the widespread adoption of renewable power systems, various energy storage systems (ESSs) using batteries have been installed to maintain a balance between power generation and load conditions [2]. Grid-connected inverters for ESSs must have bi-directional power control functionality to charge or discharge battery systems according to power demands and reduce harmonic components for battery life cycles.…”
