 Novel load matching indicators for photovoltaic system sizing and evaluationLászló Zsolt Gergely, Tamás Csoknyai and Miklós Horváth Applied Energy, 2022, vol. 327, issue C, No S0306261922013800 Abstract: Integration of renewable energy sources in energy systems is crucial in achieving climate goals. Transformation of the power system – decentralization and prosumerism has led to the spread of domestic power plants taking part in the process. Mismatch problem of these predominantly grid-connected systems are typically described with load matching indicators. Most commonly used self-consumption and self-sufficiency metrics, though come with limits. One of the greatest is that they are monotone as the function of the capacity of photovoltaics implemented, making them uncapable of suggesting a technical optimum for system size. The scope of this study is to introduce two novel indicators with technical optima those can serve as a sizing principle for domestic photovoltaic plants for different approaches. First, self-production metric is introduced which allocates photovoltaic capacity that delivers maximum renewable utilization on-site and second, grid-liability reveals an optimum from the perspective of minimizing grid usage.
