Modeling and design of a residential energy community with PV sharing

This paper investigates the feasibility of a recently proposed building energy community scheme where the energy of a single rooftop photovoltaic system is shared by costumers with a open and democratic participation. A Simulink/Matlab model is developed where we focus on the implementation and control aspects of all the relevant components, e.g., voltage source inverters for ac grid connection, dc/dc converter with maximum power point tracking strategy, inverters control for energy sharing among end-user. Preliminary results confirm the efficiency and flexibility of the proposed scheme.
