Photovoltaics energy: Improved modeling and analysis of the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and grid parity – Egypt case study
TLDR
In this article, an improved modeling and analysis of the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) associated with photovoltaic (PV) power plants is presented, which considers the effective lifetime of various PV technologies rather than the usual use of the financial lifetime.About:

Levelized cost of electricity for solar photovoltaic and electrical energy storage
Chun Sing Lai,Malcolm McCulloch +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new metric levelized cost of delivery (LCOD) is proposed to calculate the LCOE for the EES, which can be used to assist policymakers to consider the discount rate, the type of storage technology and sizing of components in a PV-EES hybrid system.

Reviewing EnergyPLAN simulations and performance indicator applications in EnergyPLAN simulations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the application of a given energy system simulation model, EnergyPLAN, analysing its application on geographic level as well as the types of simulations or scenario analyses performed on the model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Economic assessment of residential PV systems with self-consumption and storage in Portugal
TL;DR: The results of the performed economic analysis point to the conclusion that self-consumption is already attractive, but storage is not a profitable solution, because battery investment is still too high, despite the cost reduction witnessed in recent years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Economics of pooling small local electricity prosumers—LCOE & self-consumption
Peter Kästel,Bryce Gilroy-Scott +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on an electricity prosumer model in the context of the UK market and estimate self-consumption levels for two different load profiles and technologies, and show significant differences and varied between 31% and 72% depending on load profile itself and RE technologies.

Improvement and validation of a model for photovoltaic array performance
TL;DR: The five-parameter model is of interest because it requires only a small amount of input data available from the manufacturer and therefore it provides a valuable tool for energy prediction, and could be improved if manufacturer’s data included information at two radiation levels.

Photovoltaic Degradation Rates—an Analytical Review
Dirk Jordan,Sarah Kurtz +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the degradation rates of flat-plate terrestrial modules and systems reported in published literature from field testing throughout the last 40 years have been analyzed, showing a median value of 0·5%/year.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of solar photovoltaic levelized cost of electricity
TL;DR: In this paper, the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of solar photovoltaic (PV) generation is compared to other electricity generation technologies. But there is a lack of clarity of reporting assumptions, justifications and degree of completeness in LCOE calculations, which produces widely varying and contradictory results.
ReportDOI
Photovoltaic array performance model.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the equations and applications associated with the photovoltaic array performance model developed at Sandia National Laboratories over the last twelve years, including system design and sizing, "translation" of field performance measurements to standard reporting conditions, system performance optimization, and realtime comparison of measured versus expected system performance.

A Review of Solar Photovoltaic Levelized Cost of Electricity
TL;DR: The methodology of properly calculating the levelized cost of electricity for solar PV is reviewed, correcting the misconceptions made in the assumptions found throughout the literature and a template is provided for better reporting of LCOE results for PV needed to influence policy mandates or make invest decisions.
