Photovoltaic (SPV) systems in India. This paper presents an update on a case study undertaken for the underground cable fed electrical power distribution network with two types of local grid-connected small SPV systems. The distribution network is situated in an institutional premise in Gujarat, India. The exercise on data preparation for modeling of underground cable network and major load components is presented. Distribution power flow (DPF) for 3-φ, 4-wire is used to investigate the effect of SPV generation on operation of local distribution network in balanced and unbalanced conditions. The case study also includes analysis of effect of local reactive compensation on network performance. The analysis will potentially serve as a feasibility study report for small roof-top grid-connected SPV power projects in India.", "proceedingsTitle": "2012 3rd IEEE PES International Conference and

grid connected solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in the Brazilian household sector. With the reduction of solar PV module prices around the world and the high tariffs for residential consumers in Brazil some regions of the country with large solar radiation resource are reaching the grid electricity-price parity. In this context the objective of this paper is to evaluate scenarios of technology diffusion up to 2030 considering policy mechanisms to foster the development of grid connected PV generation. The three mechanisms assessed are the net metering compensation scheme as proposed by the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency (ANEEL), feed-in tariffs and direct subsidies to PV installations. We evaluate the market penetration potential in each case using a logit-function approach. The investigation results show that PV distributed technology has good opportunities for Brazil to diversify its energy matrix with potential economic and environmental benefits. However it is clear that the absence of long-term energy policy objectives for solar PV and the lack of additional support mechanisms could reflect in an inefficient and incipient adoption of this technology and the loss of its potential benefits.", "publicationTitle": "Energy for Sustainable Development", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "February 2013", "volume": "17", "issue": "1", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "40-46", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "Energy for Sustainable Development", "DOI": "10.1016/j.esd.2012.10.010", "citationKey": "", "url": "http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0973082612000798", "accessDate": "2015-01-09T23:15:51Z", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "0973-0826", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "Grid-connected photovoltaic in Brazil", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "ScienceDirect", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2015-01-09T23:15:51Z", "dateModified": "2015-01-09T23:15:51Z" } }, { "key": "86JZ7N4Q", "version": 5, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 318807, "name": "Distributed_Solar", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/distributed_solar", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/318807/items/86JZ7N4Q", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/distributed_solar/items/86JZ7N4Q", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 250494, "username": "tsandberg", "name": "Tami Sandberg", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/tsandberg", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Baldwin et al.", "parsedDate": "2014", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "86JZ7N4Q", "version": 5, "itemType": "journalArticle", "title": "Electrification and rural development: issues of scale in distributed generation", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Elizabeth", "lastName": "Baldwin" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Jennifer N.", "lastName": "Brass" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Sanya", "lastName": "Carley" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Lauren M.", "lastName": "MacLean" } ], "abstractNote": "Despite the importance of electrification for economic and social development, over one billion people globally lack access to electricity, primarily in rural areas of developing countries. Alongside the traditional means of expanding access, large-scale grid electrification, there exists another option for rural electrification: small-scale and localized distributed generation (DG), often powered by renewable energy sources. DG systems can be grid-connected or off-grid and can range in scale from less than 10 W solar lanterns at the small end to 60 MW biomass generation. Although DG has enabled some level of access to electricity for millions of people, little or no research has analyzed how the scale or level of access to electricity has shaped the ways that programs are financed or are viewed by governments, or the developmental impacts that various levels have on end-users. This article reviews the literature on DG in developing countries and finds that large-scale DG systems require a different set of approaches to finance, end-user training, and public policy support than do small-scale DG systems. Our review also reveals that even the smallest scale DG systems improve users' quality of life, yet access to electricity alone is not sufficient to achieve desired economic and social development goals. Policy makers, donors, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and other actors engaged in rural development must both (1) make decisions considering the scale of DG programs, and (2) reflect on end-users' needs and productive uses for electricity if rural electrification projects are to result in long-term development benefits.

Solar photovoltaic (PV) cell micro-generation has been used extensively for residential applications – especially in the state of California. Systems can be purchased by a homeowner or leased through a licensed distributor. Leasing has become a more popular option mostly because it does not require substantial upfront costs, and regularly schedules maintenance is often handled by the lessor. The inability by households to capture any tax breaks related to depreciation of solar capital equipment purchased by them also has made purchasing home systems even less appealing and continues to give leasing more of a competitive edge over purchasing. If homeowners were to choose financing a system through a home-equity loan, they would be eligible for tax breaks related to the interest paid on the loan. Our study uses a benefit-cost analysis to evaluate the impacts of combined tax breaks from depreciation and interest paid on home-equity loans on competitiveness under different purchase options for a 4 kW solar PV system in California. Purchasing strategies are compared to one another based on the resulting net electricity price ($/kWh) under each option. The net electricity price metric exploits the savings in annual utility bills given the displacement of grid-based electricity by solar generation. We find that cash purchases result in the highest net electricity price. Before depreciation, the differential in net electricity prices between the home-equity loan and leasing financing options is roughly $0.07/kWh. This gap shrinks to only $0.01/kWh when both the tax breaks from depreciation and interest paid on loans are considered. Overall, our results suggest that the additional tax breaks from depreciation in conjunction with those from interest paid on home-equity loans can make purchasing much more competitive.
