Electrical Profile of User with Photovoltaic System

Energy and fuel-distribution management performed by suppliers is usually based on daily predictions created by distributors. Those predictions are based on data measured the day before; weather predictions such as ambient temperature, wind, precipitation along with some general information such as day of the week, whether it is weekend or not, are there any preannounced events within the distribution area etc. There’s been a rapidly growing trend in demand for micro photovoltaic systems in single user installation for the last few years, which implies that classic user profiles are becoming obsolete for more users, both new and existing ones. This research focuses on a single example representing a consumer with an integrated micro photovoltaic system. In order to keep electrical energy management up to date with latest developments, it is essential to create a user profile for consumers with micro photovoltaic systems. This paper focuses on a classic user profile combined with estimated energy production prediction for a micro photovoltaic system, which results in a new profile of a user with a micro photovoltaic system. Measured data will express current user energy consumption as a consumer, compared to the same user energy consumption/production when the consumer is upgraded with a photovoltaic system. With the new profile, it is possible to analyze main characteristics of transformation of the user profile.
