Determination of Fair Usage Rate and Optimization for a Site Houses Photovoltaic-Battery Energy Source

Abstract

With this study, a study had been carried out to meet part of the total electricity need in a site consisting of 4 houses by the photovoltaic-battery (PV-BT) system. Partial energy to be covered by the PV-BT system was aimed to be distributed equally among these 4 houses. Standard deviation method was used for fair distribution. Standard deviation calculations were made with the conditional flow algorithm (CFA), random algorithm (RA) and excel solver (ES). Optimization studies were carried out according to this standard deviation value. CFA and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms were used for optimization. At the end of the study, the minimum standard deviation value was calculated as 0.219779. Fair usage percentages were calculated as 1.1061%, 9.1814%, 32.3474% and 57.3650% for the minimum standard deviation for each house, respectively. According to the minimum standard deviation value, the optimum result was obtained with CFA.
