Zero energy buildings and mismatch compensation factors
TL;DR: Based on historical data for the electricity supply area in western Denmark, a first attempt to quantify mismatch compensation factors is made and results indicate that such compensation factors are a little below one for buildings with photovoltaics (PV) and a little above one for building with wind turbines.
