4 Frequently Asked Questions about “Energy storage equipment self-sufficiency time - Shore Power Energy”
Is self-suficiency a metric for energy storage?
Abstract—Self-suficiency is an important metric for various energy concepts, as it reflects what share of the local consumption is covered by local generation. However, the equation commonly used in literature cannot be applied to systems with an energy storage that actively exchanges energy with the grid.
What is self-suficiency in energy systems?
The common definition of self-suficiency was originally designed for systems without storage. However, future systems will rely strongly on storage units. Storage units can introduce new levels of complexity to the calculation of self-suficiency, namely grid export of previously imported energy, differences in storage levels, and energy losses.
What role does storage play in the calculation of self-suficiency?
Liu et al. analyse load matching in zero energy buildings, and define the self-suficiency as the ratio of directly used PV energy for the consumption of the buildings. However, it is unclear what role the storage in their investigation plays and how it is included in the calculation of self-suficiency.
Why is energy storage important?
The implementation of energy storage allows excess energy produced by the PV system during peak generation times to be stored and used during periods of high demand or low generation, thereby improving the SC of the building. On January 1st, the SC is lower due to decreased solar irradiance and potential increased demand.
