Original Kurzfassung:
Due to the increasingly dominant climate change,
?green? energy sources that do not contribute to further
damage of the environment play an emerging and relevant role.
A big advantage is that this kind of energy can be generated not
only on a large scale, such as by wind turbines or hydroelectric
power plants, but also by individual households through (among
others) so-called Photovoltaic-Battery (PVB) systems which are
based on solar energy. Compared with energy from the power
grid, such systems naturally involve higher acquisition costs,
which can, however, potentially be amortized. This raises the
question of how large such systems should be designed, what
the optimal strategy of usage is, and how relevant typical
sizes of the individual elements available on the market are
to the design strategy. Against this background, we investigate
the problems addressed, taking into account different pricing
strategies, and show, based on a simulation study, that PVB
systems can bring major benefits in the long term. Additionally,
our results indicate, that ? to a certain extent ? efficient energy
management is able to compensate for limitations in sizing.
