Quantifying the Potential of Smart Heat-Pump Control to Increase the Self-Consumption of Photovoltaic Electricity in Buildings
Abstract
The work presented in this paper focuses on following aspects: • Impact of various EMS control strategies on self consumption ratio (SCR) improvement and comparison with the maximal theoretical SCR • Impact of SCR increase on electricity bill It was shown that SCR can be improved up to 37% however the theoretical maximum SCR was never reached. In addition, it was highlighted that SCR increase can have adverse effects on the electricity bill, depending on the local electricity tariffs.
