Integrated Optimisation of PV and Storage Systems for UK Non-Domestic Buildings (LB-17-C062)

Growing concerns about climate change, new decarbonization agenda, research for energy independence and geopolitical evolutions have led countries and industries to rethink their energy consumption. In this research for sustainability, major stakeholders in the UK food retail market are investigating pathways to reduce their carbon footprint. Low-carbon energy production technologies such as photovoltaic systems coupled with battery storage constitute potential solutions, also driven by rising electricity bills. The purpose of this paper is to develop an end-user optimization model assessing potential benefits of photovoltaic systems associated with battery storage for commercial buildings integration.
