Abstract

Small-scale solar power capacity will be critical for limiting global fossil fuel consumption and meeting emissions reduction targets in the coming years. Several countries have launched policy measures to encourage residential and industrial consumers to invest in solar photovoltaic (PV) panels. In Poland, the ”My Electricity” grant support program and a consumer-favorable net-metering system for micro-installations have enabled the PV market to grow rapidly since 2016. Due to growing concerns about the stability of the transmission network and power distribution systems, a new market-based compensation mechanism for new prosumers entered into force in 2022. This study assesses the economic impacts that arise from the transition from net metering to net billing, evaluates the effect of the newly established net-billing scheme on the self-consumption of residential PV-only installations, and compares the impact of both compensation mechanisms on the profitability of residential PV-only and PV-battery systems. It develops a comprehensive framework that combines an optimization-based energy management system and two stochastic approaches for modeling electricity prices and demand. This study contributes to the literature by providing a critical analysis of the financial impact of net metering and net billing on the acceptance and uptake of PV-only and PV-battery systems.

从净计量过渡到净计费：基于模型的波兰分析

未来几年，小型太阳能发电能力对于限制全球化石燃料消耗和实现减排目标至关重要。一些国家已推出政策措施，鼓励居民和工业消费者投资太阳能光伏（PV）板。在波兰，"我的电力 "赠款支持计划和有利于消费者的微型安装净计量系统使光伏市场自2016年以来迅速增长。由于人们对输电网络和配电系统的稳定性日益担忧，一项针对新用户的基于市场的新补偿机制于 2022 年生效。本研究评估了从净计量过渡到净计费所产生的经济影响，评估了新建立的净计费计划对住宅纯光伏安装的自我消费的影响，并比较了两种补偿机制对住宅纯光伏系统和光伏电池系统盈利能力的影响。该研究建立了一个综合框架，将基于优化的能源管理系统和两种随机方法结合起来，对电价和需求进行建模。本研究对净计量和净计费对纯光伏系统和光伏电池系统的接受和吸收所产生的财务影响进行了批判性分析，从而为相关文献做出了贡献。
