“…While the LCC and NPV might provide a more accurate feedback regarding the economic performance, the payback time is still often used because of its simplicity. Another wellused method to explore the cost-effectiveness of power generation systems is the calculation of the Levelized Cost of Energy (Bieri, Winter, Tay, Chua, & Reindl, 2017;Comello & Reichelstein, 2017;Patil et al, 2017).…”

Many cities have set ambitious goals regarding the production of renewables within cities using advanced energy planning. The crux of those ambitious plans and goals is to put them into action using different legislative instruments, like a zoning plan. In this article, the experiences of an action research project with the aim to support local urban planners developing a zoning plan that creates favourable conditions for solar energy in Malmö, Sweden, are described. The Swedish planning process, national legal framework and financial conditions for PV systems are described first. Then, different scenarios for optimising the zoning plan were studied, using mainly the economic performance as a key indicator. The results showed that the detailed development plan does create both barriers and drivers for the implementation of PV systems in new buildings. At the same time, it also became clear that the legal and financial framework are equally decisive. By describing the lesson learnt, the method can be applied to other (inter)national contexts.

This work performs a comprehensive techno-economic analysis worldwide for photovoltaic systems using a combination of bifacial modules and single-and dual-axis trackers. We find that single-axis trackers with bifacial modules achieve the lowest LCOE in the majority of locations (16% reduction on average). Yield is boosted by 35% by using bifacial modules with single-axis trackers and by 40% in combination with dual-axis trackers.

This paper present on the analysis of an energy storage sizing for a small grid-connected PV system. This project is to study the proper sizing of energy storage (battery) in a grid-connected PV system for consumers whom purchase and sell electricity from and to the utility grid. The goal is to minimize the total cost of the operation for a consumer with a PV system with a battery storage system. This is to make sure that minimizing the total annual operating cost while maintaining an efficient system. This study uses typical consumer load consumption, and solar irradiance data throughout a year, while varying the type of battery storage (study lead acid and Lithium ion battery) as an energy storage for a similar system. Since lithium ion is not the main options to be integrated with PV system, this study will then reveal the data in terms of cost on why it is not a popular choice.
