Overview

Evaluation shows performance of renewable systems improves energy access in vulnerable communities, suggesting pathways to reduce energy poverty.

Key Points

  • The aim is to assess the performance of photovoltaic systems and battery storage in social housing to fight energy poverty.
  • Evaluated photovoltaic systems with and without battery energy storage systems.
  • Conducted numerical simulations for three different system configurations.
  • Optimised system sizing to ensure energy balance among generation, storage, and grid supply.
  • All configurations are technically feasible under local climate conditions.
  • Different systems require distinct investment levels and payback periods.
  • Each setup offers varying degrees of CO2 reduction benefits.
