Abstract

Economic analysis of installing photovoltaic generation systems combined with battery energy storage in residential homes in Alberta was performed by comparing the net present values over the lifetime of systems with three different configurations: no photovoltaic generation and no battery energy storage, photovoltaic generation alone, and both photovoltaic generation and battery energy storage. The study was performed using real generation and load data from a photovoltaics-equipped home in Edmonton, Alberta. The addition of a battery energy storage system to the system was simulated using an optimized energy management controller. Parameter explorations were performed for combinations of equipment cost, energy prices, and energy purchase/export schemes. The results show that with the equipment and energy prices in 2017, a system with both photovoltaic generation and battery energy storage is the configuration with the highest net present value. It is closely followed by a photovoltaic only system. These systems will become even more favorable in the future, as energy prices increase and system costs decrease.

加拿大阿尔伯塔省住宅光伏发电和电池储能的经济性

通过比较三种不同配置(不光伏发电和不电池储能、单独光伏发电和同时光伏发电和电池储能)的系统在整个生命周期内的净现值，对在阿尔伯塔省的住宅中安装光伏发电系统和电池储能进行了经济分析。这项研究使用了艾伯塔省埃德蒙顿一个安装了光伏设备的家庭的真实发电和负荷数据。利用优化后的能量管理控制器对系统中加入电池储能系统进行了仿真。对设备成本、能源价格和能源购买/出口方案的组合进行了参数探索。结果表明，在2017年设备和能源价格的情况下，光伏发电和电池储能并网的系统是净现值最高的配置。紧随其后的是一个光伏系统。随着能源价格的上涨和系统成本的降低，这些系统在未来将变得更加有利。
