Abstract
Two different thermodynamic systems for space heating, cooling, and domestic hot water production coupled to photovoltaic panels have been studied. The aim is to assess the PV electricity self-consumption variation with the heat storage volume and the applied control strategy. Each system has been studied using a 1D unsteady state modelisation software to simulate its performance in a house complying with the French building code (RT2012) having a DHW demand according to ErP’s load profile M and with Paris weather data. The main parameters studied are the electricity consumption of the thermodynamic system, the seasonal performance factor (SPF), the self-consumption ratio, the self-production ratio, the coverage ratio and the Return on Investment. The results show that the seasonal efficiency can be doubled thanks to the optimization of the PV electricity self-consumption, which results in a return on investment lower than 15 years.
