6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic ESS cost vs benefit calculation in Tunisia]
How does Tunisia invest in the photovoltaic sector?
The Tunisian government is encouraging investment in the photovoltaic sector by covering 30% of the investment costs. In addition, STEG buys the surplus electricity produced.
Are PV cells and ESSs a good investment?
Typically, PV cells are installed with ESSs to help overcome the limitation of energy generation being possible only during the day. However, PV cells and ESSs have high initial installation costs and a complex electricity pricing system, making it difficult to judge their economic benefits.
How to improve the competitiveness of PV cells and ESSs?
Installation costs increase with the size of PV cells and ESSs. Therefore, to improve the competitiveness of PV cells, it is necessary to calculate the optimal sizes of PV cells and ESSs while considering the environment of the application site.
What are the economic benefits of PV cells?
Economic benefits include savings on electricity expenses owing to the use of electrical energy obtained through PV cells and earnings from selling surplus electricity to electric power companies. The main cause for the lack of economic feasibility is the large initial installation cost of PV cells and ESSs.
When is electrical energy stored in ESS?
Electrical energy is stored in ESSs if the energy generated from PV cells is larger than the amount consumed. This stored energy is used if consumed energy is larger than generated energy. This allows for the flexible use of energy. For this reason, the use of ESSs in conjunction with PV facilities is increasing.
Which pV cell size produces the maximum economic benefit after 15 years?
The PV cell and ESS sizes that produced the maximum economic benefit after 15 years were confirmed to be 900 kW and 1000 kWh, respectively. Luthander R, Widén J, Nilsson D, Palm J (2015) Photovoltaic self-consumption in buildings: a review.
