Ramey Would you mind correcting the glossary entry to show that photovoltaic is one word?

Hi Ramey! Thank you for your help. Yes, this refers to a private home PV facility.
Ramey Rieger (X) Feb 20, 2018:
Hi Phil. Well, it has to be in there somewhere: This exhaust/thermal pump, with a 300-liter storage capacity......optimizes your photovoltaic home use.
philgoddard Feb 20, 2018:
Yes, you're quite right, I'm sure it does.
The technical term for this is "own consumption", but if this is consumer marketing copy, it might be better to say something like "helps you get the most out of the energy you use yourself" (as opposed to feeding to the grid).
Also, "photovoltaic" is probably redundant.
Ramey Rieger (X) Feb 20, 2018:
Hi Martina! I'm assuming this relates to a private home PV facility, as the storage capacity is a mere 300 liters. Can you confirm this, please?

photovoltaic, of course, despite the spell-checker.

Thanks, Sarah, let the sun shine in.
neutral philgoddard : We don't know that this is a domestic unit. Also, photovoltaic is one word.//Good point.

My spell-checker only accepted it as two, which gave me pause, I must admit.//Also, a 300-liter unit can ONLY be for home use, don't you think?

This division is achieved that the regulation of the active power is performed without consideration of the self-consumption of the system so that fluctuations of the own consumption remain without influence on the effective power control, while on the other hand the own consumption of the system is taken into account in the regulation of the output in the net reactive power.

The business models of photovoltaic (PV) power self-consumption, direct power consumption and direct marketing will be assessed and compared to the conventional business model of grid-based electricity consumption. Using the two-step optimization process of the model IRPsim, cost-saving potentials at the customer level and changes of profits from the perspective of the involved utilities will be derived.
:
2.3.1 Model Description
The construct of “power self-consumption” (German: Eigenverbrauch, Selbstverbrauch) refers to a setting of a residential single-family household with a decentralized source of electricity generation, while the on-site generated electricity allows, at least to some extent, for the satisfaction of energy needs of the respective house owner.
