Optimal Energy Management System Applied to Commercial Self-Consumption Solutions

IREMS, an optimization model developed to manage self-consumption solutions and overcome the limitations the commercial management functionalities present has been validated under the conditions of one of the real installations in Barcelona where the software has been installed. The aim of this paper is to perform and present a comparative analysis of the differences in battery performance and electricity purchase between the use of commercial management functionalities for PV self-consumption systems and the more advanced functionalities IREMS offers for this type of solutions.
