  • Solar energy and net metering in the Mediterranean area (the PVNET project) [Elektronski vir]
    Virtič, Peter ...
    In this paper, the research within the project "Promotion of photovoltaic energy through net metering optimization" (PV-NET) is presented. The goal of this project is to pave the way for more ... efficient renewable energy sources (RES) exploitation in the Mediterranean area and support existing initiatives and EU policy on RES by promoting increased RES deployment in the most cost-efficient way and a distributed, smart-grid electricity generation environment. Photovoltaic (PV) power plants no longer need support from Feed-in-Tariffs (FIT) and smart net metering can now allow cost-effective RES incorporation into the energy mix. The analysis of current situation in the Mediterranean area, development of technical solution with pilot net metering installations and data analysis are presented. Study pilot installations have been implemented to collect data in Cyprus, Portugal and Slovenia with remote data access which serves to provide long-term data in order to handle the energy generated by PV through smart management of supply and demand and thereby encourage an adequate and efficient use of PV. The improved access to information also improves the knowledge and competences concerning the technical aspects and public administration of more widespread adoption of PV and other RES.
