The Recent Change in the Italian Policies for Photovoltaics: Effects on the Energy Demand Coverage of Grid-Connected PV Systems Installed in Urban Contexts

In July 2013, the Italian photovoltaic (PV) support policies changed the feed-in tariff (FIT) mechanism and turned to a tax credits program, which is currently in force. The aim of this paper is to investigate how such a radical change has influenced the electricity demand coverage of the PV systems installed in urban contexts. A methodology, which connects the economic assessment to a detailed architectural and energy suitability analysis, was applied to some case studies to analyse the relationships between the physical parameters related to multi-storey buildings (roof shapes, number of floors and area of flats) and the most relevant economic and financial features affecting the viability of rooftop PV systems. The study, which considers only the electricity produced by the PV systems that are economically profitable, highlighted that the tax credits scheme is even more effective in covering the electrical consumption of densely urbanised Italian city districts. The results, which are significantly influenced by the latitude of the analysed districts, underline the opportunity for governments to adopt PV promoting policies that are more sensitive to the amount of solar energy available in the different regions of their national territory.

“…The BIPV system has been used to harvest solar power for buildings for its advantageous application to both new and old buildings (Here we do not differentiate BIPV from BAPV, short for building-applied photovoltaics [16]). The PV panel is the basic power generating device of BIPV, which consists of PV modules first connected in series and then in parallel [17].…”

Improving building energy efficiency is significant for energy conservation and environmental protection. When there are multiple buildings with solar power generation and batteries connected in a microgrid, coordinating the distributed energy supply and consumption may substantially improve the energy efficiency. We consider this important problem in this paper and make the following three major contributions. First, we formulate the operation optimization of a microgrid of buildings as a two-stage stochastic programming problem. Second, the problem is transformed into a stochastic mixed-integer linear programming. Then the scenario method is used to solve the problem. Third, case studies of a university campus is presented. The numerical results show that coordinating the distributed solar power and battery can reduce the operational cost of the microgrid.

Japanese Government is formulating new energy policies in the utilization of alternative energy sources to reduce reliance on nuclear and fossil-powered energy sources. This study shows the numerical evaluation of utilizing alternative energy sources for the demonstration single family detached house. The study shows that utilization of different alternative energy sources both offsite and on-site could reduce the house's dependency on grid line electricity and fossil fuel. The installation of photovoltaic roof tiles, excess generated electricity could be sold through the feed-in tariff scheme. The utilization of a biomass fuel water heater could reduce the carbon dioxide emission. The combination of photovoltaic roof tiles and solar thermal collector with biomass fueled water heater allows the house to sell excess electricity produced, and eliminates the carbon dioxide emission.
