Evaluation of the penetration rate of PV systems in diesel microgrids
Solar energy
Voir toutes les réalisations Le projet
Nergica has worked with Green Sun Rising (GSR) to identify the conditions that need to be met to increase the penetration of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy in isolated diesel-PV hybrid microgrids.
This information will help maximize diesel displacement without affecting the performance or stability of Canada's unconnected microgrids. As a result, GSR will be able to support its customers in the sizing and operation of diesel-PV hybrid systems. Thanks to its expertise and real-life research site, Nergica helped validate the results and formulate recommendations.
Highlights
This work led to a number of key conclusions, of which the following are the highlights.
-
Review of the restrictions imposed by Canada's isolated grid operators on the integration of stochastic renewables.
-
Assessment of the impact of several variables (PV production clipping, PV panel configuration, electricity tariff, among others) on the financial viability of projects and the discounted cost of energy.
