Renewable energy integration into factories: Real-time control of on-site energy systems

Environmental impacts of electricity self-consumption from organic photovoltaic battery systems at industrial facilities in Denmark

“…In the long term, self-consumption based on PV battery systems may offer the most economical solution compared to PV alone or the grid [2]. In the context of manufacturing industries, on-site generation has become an alternative to conventional electricity grid supply, despite its operation management challenges [4].…”

Cost-competitiveness of organic photovoltaics for electricity self-consumption at residential buildings: A comparative study of Denmark and Greece under real market conditions

“…Solar photovoltaics (PV) are seen globally as one of the most promising technologies in the race again climate change [1]. In the European context, PV systems are expected to play a key role in improving the energy performance of the building sector (Directive 2012/27/EU) despite the operation management challenges associated with large-scale penetration of renewable energy sources at residential [2] and industrial level [3], the integration of energy storage and electric vehicles [4], and load management by active end users [5].…”

Energy-aware manufacturing operations

“…In recent years, the increasing volatility and unpredictability of energy availability, supply and cost, require that management systems be more reactive (Ghadimi, Kara, and Kornfeld 2015). For example, the carbon footprint is bigger during periods of peak load (e.g.…”
