A case analysis for optimizing the balance between solar photovoltaic electricity supply and electricity demand of a facility

Today, energy constitutes the common agenda of the world. Despite the increasing individual and global energy demand with developing technology, the limited conventional fossil fuel reserves cause interruptions in energy supply. Because of this strategic importance, energy has become the security and strategic policy of countries rather than the problem of a family or a production line. In order to meet the increasing energy demand due to the inadequacy and finiteness of fossil resources, renewable energy sources have quickly come to the agenda of the world. Since renewable energy sources are insufficient to meet the consumption demand on their own, research and development studies are carried out to support these systems. With this thesis, the energy production of the unlicensed rooftop solar power plant with a generation capacity of 404.6 kWp connected to the grid from the low voltage level and the energy consumption of the facility where it is installed are analyzed in detail and solution proposals are presented in detail in order to minimize the differences between production and consumption. For the data to be used in the study, real-time data were obtained from the energy analyzers of the production and consumption facilities. In the light of the data obtained, solution suggestions are given in order to achieve the production-consumption balance.
