Feasibility Study on Building Energy System with PVB, EV and PHS: A Case in Hong Kong Yijie Zhang, Tao Ma, Hongxing Yang

Abstract

A future building energy system is established with photovoltaic (PV) generation and hybrid storage system in a case in Hong Kong. The battery, electric vehicle (EV) and pump-hydro storage (PHS) system are considered. A technical feasibility study is conducted to assess the influence of different storage priorities. The PHS is shown to reduces the total energy efficiency by 7.16% at user side. The low self-sufficiency rate, 16.29% to 17.77% recommends the addition of remote renewable generation. The low usage rate of storage system, 31 to 58, annual equivalent battery cycle number emphasizes the need of grid charging.
