A Comparison between power splitting functions integrated in a power sharing model

The recent global rise in energy costs coupled with the need to reduce atmospheric emissions is prompting more and more users to seek green and zero-emission power generation solutions such as photovoltaic plants (PV). The main issue related to the installation of a domestic photovoltaic system concerns the power distribution to the various users in the building where the PV is installed. This paper aims to provide three different algorithms suitable for a Power Sharing Model (PSM) in order to assign the shared power produced by the PV. For each algorithm, will be highlighted merits and drawbacks of the proposed solution, keeping in consideration that there are multiple valid solutions for implementing the model, each with different purposes. Next, a case study representing a building with typical users (three – phase and single – phase users) will be conducted, in which the three algorithms are tested within a Simulink model in order to analyze their behavior depending on the proposed scenario.
