Interconnection process of photovoltaic systems into the Electricity Authority of Cyprus’s power grid using the method of self-production

The concept of self-consumption of photovoltaic (PV) electricity from grid-connected residential and industrial systems is becoming widely popular among PV system owners and in the scientific community. Defining self-consumption, it is the share of the total PV production that is directly consumed b...

description The concept of self-consumption of photovoltaic (PV) electricity from grid-connected residential and industrial systems is becoming widely popular among PV system owners and in the scientific community. Defining self-consumption, it is the share of the total PV production that is directly consumed by the PV system owner. With decreased subsidies for PV electricity in several countries, increased self-consumption could contribute in raising the economic viability of PV systems and lower the stress on the electricity distribution grid. The present thesis consists of the study that is required to be carried out, in a summarized form, for the installation and operation of a PV self-consumption system.
