A spatio-temporal city-scale assessment of residential photovoltaic power integration scenarios

摘要: Abstract Cities have a significant potential to host residential photovoltaic systems (PV). The direct consumption of PV generated electricity reduces the need for import, while excess production can be stored later usage or used directly charge electric vehicles (EVs). In this way, more energy is locally consumed, greenhouse gas emissions are reduced, and self-sufficiency cities increased. paper, we present spatio-temporal framework evaluate demand that fulfilled by energy. We assess impact penetration EVs influence battery storage. demonstrate usefulness 88 neighbourhoods in city Utrecht, Netherlands. Spatial mapping was identify areas with high Results shows self-consumption ratios vary between 34% 100%. When charging included neighbourhoods, then increased on average 12%. Battery storage increases an 25%. self-sufficiencies due 6% 40% neighbourhoods. These decreased −0.6%, 14%. Avoided life cycle over 30-year period 12 tCO2-eq per address. large variation results indicates area dependent investments supporting policies could improve power integration cities. Our developed easily adapted other Moreover, our useful local governments guide design effective accelerate transition sustainable
