An efficient sizing method for a stand-alone PV system in terms of the observed block extremes

Chen, Shin-Guang - In: Applied Energy 91 (2012) 1, pp. 375-384

This paper proposes a novel and fast sizing method under the constant daily load profile for sizing a stand-alone PV … system. The term “efficient sizing” means that the approach did not use simulation but could get the result as good as those … employing simulation. So, the sizing method is more efficient than the others. Traditionally, a typical day or a typical year …
