Read and write reviews about Enhancing Storage Integration in Buildings with Photovoltaics - PV ESTIA. EU`s energy targets for 2030 include the transformation of the building stock to nearly zero energy buildings (NZEBs). NZEBs are characterized by reduced net-energy demand, since most of their energy needs are met by on-site renewable energy sources, especially photovoltaics (PVs). Consequently, a considerable amount of intermittent solar generators will be connected in the electrical grid posing new challenges concerning the secure and reliable grid operation. To effectively address these challenges, the integration of energy storage systems (ESSs) in NZEBs is considered as the most promising solution. Towards this objective, the PV-ESTIA (Enhancing Storage Integration in Buildings with Photovoltaics ) project aims to develop an innovative management scheme for hybrid PV and storage systems in order to promote the use of ESSs in the building environment. The main outputs of the project are: 1) an innovative management scheme of PV+storage hybrid, making buildings grid-friendlier; 2) a generalized model capable to assess alternative policies related to implementation of such hybrids; 3) An online user-friendly tool able to estimate the profitability of such systems ; 4) An advanced tool able to evaluate multiple policy scenarios ; 5) Set of joint regulation recommendations in the form of roadmap for BM region ; 6) Set of joint policy recommendations targeting policy makers. This project is funded by the Interreg BALKAN-MED programme of the European Commission. It will be implemented by a Consortium consisting of seven (7) partners, based in four (4) different EU countries. 1)Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece 2)Technological Research Centre of Western Macedonia, Greece 3)University of Cyprus, Cyprus 4)Electricity Authority of Cyprus, Cyprus 5)Energy Agency of Plovdiv, Bulgaria 6)Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies of SS.
