摘要: Arizona Public Service Company (APS) has performed a study of the APS system to (1) determine whether high-value distributed applications photovoltaics (PV), (2) quantify value PV system, (3) compare results with earlier PG&E and (4) estimate there will be significant market for these at APS. The confirmed that is distributing generation throughout utility distribution system. breakeven cost in APS' best location $3.44/watt, 1996 dollars. Feeders which meet all criteria eligible full benefits are relatively rare. However, usually have more if it rather than installed central station site. >
