Economic and environmental analysis of photovoltaic energy systems via robust optimization

摘要: This paper deals with the problem of determining optimal size a residential grid-connected photovoltaic system to meet certain \(\mathrm{CO }_2\) reduction target at minimum cost. Ren et al. proposed novel approach using simple linear programming that minimizes total energy costs for buildings in Japan. However, their is based on specific net tariff was used Japan until October 2009, and it not applicable Japan’s current system. We propose modified The mathematical formulation general sense includes formulations other systems as special cases. Therefore, only Japanese but also (e.g., gross feed-in system). further extend this by robust optimization technique cope uncertainty power generation caused weather variability. Numerical experiments show requirements solar meeting targets economic nominal
