Optimal planning of Building Integrated Photovoltaic System in Urban Energy Internet

Urban Energy Internet based on urban distribution network integrates various forms of energy sources and internet participants. It is crucial for different participants to agree on specific technical standards as well as planning objectives. Since the siting and sizing of BIPV system may have significant influence on its independent power producer and local electric power supply company, a coordinated planning is undoubtedly required to balance the interests of related parties. Firstly, this research carries out an analytical method based on power circle diagram to generate sets of siting and sizing solutions. Secondly, an optimal planning model is proposed considering bilateral interests of related parties to obtain the optimal capacity of BIPV and its access position. A practical case study is demonstrated.
