Abstract

An electrical storage system is mainly used to increase self-consumption of the produced photovoltaic (PV) energy, to relieve the public power grid and to reduce the dependency on the grid. This chapter focuses on a technical simulation of a PV system linked to a storage unit and analyses its economic efficiency.
