“…Similar approaches have been used to estimate the impact of electric vehicles in Australian power systems, 38 bulk electricity storage in the Texas power system 39 and lead-acid batteries in Great Britain's power system. 40 All studies found that storage could have a negative environmental impact and emphasised a possible trade-off between operating storage for private benefits (i.e. maximising profit) rather than social benefits (i.e.…”

This article studies the impact on CO2 emissions of electrical storage systems in power systems with high penetrations of wind generation. Using the Irish All-Island power system as a case-study, data on the observed dispatch of each large generator for the years 2008 to 2012 was used to estimate a marginal emissions factor of 0.547 kgCO2/kWh. Selected storage operation scenarios were used to estimate storage emissions factors – the carbon emissions impact associated with each unit of storage energy used. The results show that carbon emissions increase in the short-run for all storage technologies when consistently operated in ‘peak shaving and trough filling’ modes, and indicate that this should also be true for the GB and US power systems. Carbon emissions increase when storage is operated in ‘wind balancing’ mode, but reduce when storage is operated to reduce wind power curtailment, as in this case wind power operates on the margin. For power systems where wind is curtailed to maintain system stability, the results show that energy storage technologies that provide synthetic inertia achieve considerably greater carbon reductions. The results highlight a tension for policy makers and investors in storage, as scenarios based on the operation of storage for economic gains increase emissions, while those that decrease emissions are unlikely to be economically favourable. While some scenarios indicate storage increases emissions in the short-run, these should be considered alongside long-run assessments, which indicate that energy storage is essential to the secure operation of a fossil fuel-free grid.

“…Porém quando se analisa a fatura energética mensal em hipótese nenhuma, mesmo nos meses onde a geração será maior que o consumo, está será gratuita, tendo em vista a cobrança das taxas de consumo mínimo (por exemplo: iluminação pública) pelas concessionárias (MCKENNA et al, 2013).…”

A evolução da humanidade sempre esteve conectada às exigências por fontes de energia. Hoje, a matriz energética global é altamente dependente dos combustíveis derivados de petróleo, que por sua vez possuem alto coeficiente energético, porém causam grandes impactos ao meio-ambiente em sua exploração e utilização. As fontes renováveis têm como vantagem a geração de energia sem danos significativos a natureza. Dentre essas, a geração solar fotovoltaica ganha destaque nos últimos anos como uma alternativa sustentável de atendimento à demanda de eletricidade. No intuito de aprofundar mais as pesquisas realizadas sobre este tema foi realizada uma busca bibliométrica de artigos que tratavam de energia fotovoltaica, a fim de se identificar as principais áreas pesquisadas, palavras-chave, revistas (journals), países, anos de publicação e autores que são mais relevantes facilitando assim o processo de busca de outros pesquisadores por uma literatura especifica dentro do tema abordado. A pesquisa foi realizada na base de dados Web of Science, a partir de 1645 artigos resultantes das buscas. Como resultados finais da pesquisa são apresentados as principais áreas de pesquisa, as redes de citação, bem como os autores mais relevantes de cada área e além destas informações, foi realizada uma seleção dos 25 principais artigos do tema. Palavras-chave: Energia Solar, Fotovoltaica e Análise Bibliométrica.

“…The study of integrated PV-BESs on the United Kingdom FIT policy is addressed in [42]; McKenna et al state that the PV-BES combination in the UK is not a convenient operation as, even if there is a feed-in tariff, there is no case of financial convenience in adopting lead batteries. Such a conclusion is valid even if considering ideal batteries without leaks and with an optimistic life expectancy.…”

The paper presents a review of the recent developments of photovoltaics integrated with battery storage systems (PV-BESs) and related to feed-in tariff policies. The integrated photovoltaic battery systems are separately discussed in the regulatory context of Germany, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, Australia, and Greece; the attention of this paper is focused on those integrated systems subject to incentivisation policies such as feed-in tariff. Most of the contributions reported in this paper consider already existing incentive schemes; the remaining part of the contributions proposes interesting and novel feed-in tariff schemes. All the contributions provide an important resource for carrying out further research on a new era of incentive policies in order to promote storage technologies and integrated photovoltaic battery systems in smart grids and smart cities. Recent incentive policies adopted in Germany, Italy, Spain, and Australia are also discussed.
