Ítem Analysis of Different Scenarios to Include PV Rooftop Systems with Battery Energy Storage Systems in Olive Mills(MDPI, 2023-12-27) Sánchez-Jiménez, José Luis; Muñoz-Rodríguez, Francisco José; Jiménez-Castillo, Gabino; Martínez-Calahorro, Antonio Javier; Rus-Casas, CatalinaThe industrial sector is not the one with the highest energy consumption but, together with, it represents the most, together with the transport sector, the most polluting ones. Photovoltaic Rooftop systems and battery energy storage systems are very strong candidates to include renewable energy, allowing greater grid autonomy and greenhouse gas mitigation. Therefore, this paper aims to outline it will be provided a methodology based on monitored data to analyze the potential of photovoltaic Rooftops with battery energy storage systems regarding self-consumption and self-sufficiency indices in the industrial sector. Direct self-consumption and self-sufficiency indices, either with or without storage, will be analyzed. In addition, the iso self-consumption and iso self-sufficiency curves are used, which allow us to evaluate the matching between the generation and consumption profiles considering either direct self-consumption or the use of batteries. In this sense, a large, medium, and small olive mill were selected in order to cover the entire spectrum of these industries. Olive mills are suitable candidates for the incorporation of photovoltaic systems since generation profiles match the consumption profiles. However, the size of these systems is highly dependent on the period of consumption to be faced. Regarding batteries, both during the harvest and off-harvest periods, the impact on self-sufficiency becomes significant, reaching increases of up to 10%, depending on the battery capacity used.Ítem Distributed generation and photovoltaic selfconsumption. Energy potential for the olive mill industries in Spain(Publicaciones DYNA SL, 2020-09) Martínez-Calahorro, Antonio Javier; Jiménez-Castillo, Gabino; Rus-Casas, Catalina; Muñoz-Rodríguez, Francisco JoséThe industrial sector faces a new paradigm of energy offshoring, where distributed generation can play a leading role in reducing energy costs in industries, as well as in its C02 emissions. This work shows the potential that photovoltaic self-consumption systems can present to face part of the consumption in the industries of the agri-food sector, specifically the oil mills. The electrical consumption of this type of industry for an oil mill is analyzed, as well as the level of coupling between the actual consumption profiles and the estimated photovoltaic generation profiles for a given range of powers of the photovoltaic generator. The analysis method is easily extrapolated to any mill located in Spain. Likewise, and given that this type of industry has a very characteristic consumption profile, the results obtained are easily transferable to other oil mills. For the mill analyzed, and from an annual perspective, a level of use of the generated photovoltaic energy of 75% with a self-sufficiency index of 20% has been estimated, highlighting the great potential of this technology, as an energy option in this type of industry, as well as in any other that presents a consumption with little variability.Ítem Performance analysis indices for Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic system(IEEE, 2023-07-09) Jiménez-Castillo, Gabino; Martínez-Calahorro, Antonio Javier; Rus-Casas, Catalina; Snytko, Anastasiia; Muñoz-Rodríguez, Francisco JoséThe integration of rooftop solar photovoltaic systems into the electricity grid may be crucial in the current energy scenario. At present, this type of electricity generation is cost-competitive in many countries due to its modularity, the availability of the solar resource and the cost of the components, without the need for subsidies. Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic systems have the potential to cover 20-30% of electricity demand in Spain. In order to assess the potential of this technology and to facilitate the deployment of this type of systems, it is very important to provide a proper performance analysis of PV Rooftops systems from monitored data. In this way, self-consumption and self-sufficiency indices are commonly used, however they may not provide a complete assessment. Hence, indices such as the self-sufficiency index for sunshine hours, self-production index and grid-liability rate are also analyzed. These indices estimate the performance of rooftop solar PV systems and provide maximum and minimum values when estimated as a function of array peak power. Moreover, new indices such as the self-production index and the grid-liability rate for sunshine duration have been developed to estimate the system's performance during sunshine hours. These indices can complement the commonly used metrics and improve the performance analysis from monitored data. Moreover, they may also help determine the proper size of the array power of these systems in the industrial sector. The metrics are evaluated using data from four canning industries equipped with rooftop solar photovoltaic systems that have been monitored for a year.Ítem Photovoltaic Self-Consumption in Industrial Cooling and Refrigeration(MDPI, 2020-12-21) Martínez-Calahorro, Antonio Javier; Jiménez-Castillo, Gabino; Rus-Casas, Catalina; Gómez-Vidal, Pedro; Muñoz-Rodríguez, Francisco JoséThe industrial sector has a great opportunity to reduce its energy costs through distributed generation. In this sense, the potential of photovoltaic self-consumption systems in the industrial cooling and refrigeration sector is shown. Two industries with photovoltaic self-consumption installations are shown and the electricity consumption profile of this type of industry which has a remarkable basal electricity consumption during daytime is analyzed. The matching between consumption and photovoltaic generation profiles is provided through the self-consumption and self-sufficiency curves considering different reporting periods (monthly and annual). Moreover, a new index is presented: self-sufficiency index for sunshine hours, φSS,SH. This index evaluates the performance of the photovoltaic self-consumption system when facing the consumption only during sunshine hours. This index may complement the self-sufficiency index and may improve the analysis of this type of systems in the industrial sector. Self-consumption indices of 90% may be provided. Moreover, self-sufficiency indices for total (24 h) and for sunshine hours of 25% and 50%, respectively, for industry A, and 26% and 45% for industry B have been obtained. During daytime, half the load consumption in this type of industry may be covered by photovoltaics while achieving high levels of use of the photovoltaic energy generated.
