Modelling Grid-Connected PV Buildings. A WWW Software Approach

摘要

This paper describes a software tool freely available on the WWW. It has been deployed on a WWW server as a Java applet that can be run by multiple users on different hardware-software platforms. The program performs energy analysis in photovoltaic buildings connected to the utility grid. Depending on different constructive parameters of the building, the photovoltaic generators installed, geographical location and the weather conditions, the program estimates the energy consumed in the building, the photovoltaic energy that can be generated on-site and the resulting balance. Building's behaviour can be simulated on a daily, monthly or yearly basis and the results are given in graphic or tabular format.
