What is Component degradation in small-scale off-grid PV-battery systems operation in terms of reliability, environmental impact and economic performance about?
Photovoltaic systems supported by energy storage are commonly applied solutions for supplying power in off-grid locations. Properly designed systems can ensure reliability at a level comparable to conventional diesel generators. In addition, renewables-based systems not only have lower cost of maintenance (its operation is not fuel supply dependent) but also a significantly smaller environmental footprint. In this paper, a PV-battery system is designed to supply four different loads in a remote location. The cost of reliability as well as related emissions are estimated and compared with a diesel generator. In contrast to the previous approach, PV-battery system reliability of is determined in a longterm horizon. The performance of the PV-battery is influenced not only by the variability of irradiation and temperature but also the degradation of PV system efficiency and a drop in battery capacity. In the available literature these three aspects are frequently neglected but even if considered, then never simultaneously. Based on the conducted analysis the following conclusions are drawn: PV-battery system has a significantly lower environmental impact than a diesel generator but it
