The aim of this coursework is to analyze the performance of a solar energy installation at the University of Portsmouth developed as a living lab during the Interreg Solarise project.
The installation at the Eco-house consists of 15 SolarEdge 335 W PV modules and 15 SolarEdge optimizers, connected to a 5 kW inverter, which delivers the generated power to the AC electric network of the house. A Tesla Powerwall 2 smart battery storage system is connected to the AC electrical network of the house. A number of common household appliances are already connected to the AC network and serve as loads. On the monitoring side, there is a weather station measuring a range of variables of interest in solar installations.
