The economic feasibility of the installations is largely dependent on self-consumption and compensation due to electricity injected into the grid, as well as the assumed evolution of the electricity prices. A sensitivity analysis is carried out for different installation sizes and different evolution scenarios concerning electricity prices. The potential for installations for shared self-consumption with dynamic and static distribution coefficients is also analyzed. The results show that medium sized installations are generally a cost effective way to reduce energy bills, while the economic performance of larger installations is more uncertain, and is largely dependent on the selling price for electricity injected into the grid. This case study found that the economic benefits of shared self-consumption between different companies are substantial, and are slightly more favorable when applying dynamic distribution factors.1669731enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessjournal article10.3390/en14030728PhotovoltaicsLegislationRenewable energyIndustrial parksSustainabilitySelf-consumptionLCCPhotovoltaicsLegislationRenewable energyIndustrial parksSustainabilitySelf-consumptionLCCRenewable Energy, Sustainability and the EnvironmentFuel TechnologyEngineering (miscellaneous)Energy Engineering and Power TechnologyEnergy (miscellaneous)Control and OptimizationElectrical and Electronic EngineeringSDG 7 - Affordable and Clean EnergySDG 13 - Climate ActionProject IDinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/785134/EU/Envisioning and Testing New Models of Sustainable Energy Cooperation and Services in Industrial Parks/S-PARCSinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/785134/EU/Envisioning and Testing New Models of Sustainable Energy Cooperation and Services in Industrial Parks/S-PARCSFunding InfoThe work described in this article was partially funded by S-PARCS project, European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement Number 785134.The work described in this article was partially funded by S-PARCS project, European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement Number 785134.http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=85106229688&partnerID=8YFLogxK
