Preamble [2/2]

4. Main problem [1/3]
●
How a company can optimally manage PV
production for the next 10 years ?
●
Liberalization of the electricity market
●
Should it remain a big energy producer ?
●
Should it become a producer in direct
connection with users (cities) ?

5. Main problem [2/3]
●
Should it remain a big energy producer ?
●
Main goal is to increase efficiency of PV
installations
– Fault detection of PV panels
– Localization of the PV default
– Prediction of the PV fault
– Synchronization with repair team
– Integration of the MW price variability
– Next day forcasting prediction

6. Main problem [3/3]
●
Should it become a producer in direct
connection with users (cities) ?
– Size of the microgrid
– Self-consumption
– Economic solution for a district
– Short term forecasting prediction (1-6 hours)
– Impact of consumption
– Distributed storage
– Connection Vehicle to Grid (V2G)
– Control rules for managing energy
