6 FAQs about [Self-use power generation and energy storage]

Can solar energy storage systems improve self-consumption and self-sufficiency?

As energy storage systems are typically not installed with residential solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, any “excess” solar energy exceeding the house load remains unharvested or is exported to the grid. This paper introduces an approach towards a system design for improved PV self-consumption and self-sufficiency.

Why is energy storage important?

Energy storage installed by consumers helps storing excess on-site renewable generation in periods of low demand (e.g. when residential consumers are not at home) for use in periods when energy demand is high and renewable production is low (e.g. peak-time in the morning and in the evening).

Could a battery energy storage system democratize access to electricity?

Moreover, battery energy storage systems (BESS) could help democratize access to electricity. “In remote areas, such as in the mountains or in poorer countries, coupling renewable power with storage is a must for bringing energy to more people,” Knauth says. Yet energy storage systems have their hurdles.

Do we need energy storage solutions?

“We need energy storage solutions to make them permanent,” says researcher and electric battery expert Philippe Knauth in an interview for bbva.com. He also points out that the democratization of energy depends on “the combination of renewable energies and energy storage.”

What is the difference between a consumer and a self-generator?

Prosumer, self-generators and self-consumers are words sometimes used interchangeably. For the purpose of this paper, the Council of European Energy Regulators (CEER) considers self-generation as the use of power generated on-site by an energy consumer in order to reduce, at least in part, the purchase of electricity from the grid.

Can battery storage increase PV self-consumption and self-sufficiency?

After establishing the limits of thermal storage size, a significant impact on self-efficiency can be realised through battery storage. This study demonstrates the feasibility of using a polyvalent heat pump together with water storage tanks and, ultimately, batteries to increase PV self-consumption and self-sufficiency.
