Methodology and Simulation of Electrical Grid Peak Shaving Strategy based on Photovoltaic and Storage Optimization: an Italian Residential Sector Case Study

The European Union has set some ambitious targets to reach the goal of net-zero greenhouse gasses by 2050. The outlined scenarios provide the use of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) on a large-scale, but to do so, different kinds of actions must be taken, because the ample amount of non-programmable e...
