La transizione verso fonti di energia sostenibili e l'ottimizzazione del consumo energetico hanno acquisito notevole importanza negli ultimi anni, in particolare nel contesto del settore commerciale. Questa tesi presenta un'esame completo della fattibilità tecnico-economica e del potenziale di autoconsumo di un sistema combinato di generazione fotovoltaica (PV) e riscaldamento basato su pompa di calore, nel contesto unico di un edificio commerciale. Lo studio inizia con una revisione dello stato attuale delle tecnologie energetiche rinnovabili e della loro integrazione negli edifici commerciali, mettendo in evidenza la crescente importanza dei sistemi fotovoltaici e delle soluzioni di riscaldamento a pompa di calore. Lo studio utilizza avanzate tecniche di modellizzazione e simulazione per stimare i potenziali tassi di autoconsumo e benefici finanziari derivanti dall'integrazione di pannelli fotovoltaici e riscaldamento a pompa di calore. Nell'analisi si considerano fattori come le caratteristiche dell'edificio, le condizioni meteorologiche e i modelli di consumo energetico. Inoltre, viene effettuata una valutazione tecno-economica per determinare la redditività di un tale sistema, compresi l'investimento iniziale, i costi operativi e il potenziale periodo di ammortamento. Vengono esaminati vari scenari e sensibilità per tener conto delle incertezze e delle variazioni nelle prestazioni del sistema. Lo studio attuale fa luce sulla fattibilità e sulla praticità dell’integrazione della generazione fotovoltaica (PV) con sistemi di riscaldamento basati su pompe di calore negli edifici commerciali. Offre inoltre consigli per migliorare le prestazioni del sistema e il rapporto costo-efficacia in questa configurazione integrata. Questi risultati servirebbero come riferimento pratico per i decisori e le parti interessate nel settore dell’edilizia commerciale che cercano di bilanciare i benefici economici con la sostenibilità ambientale.

Abstract
The transition to sustainable energy sources and the optimization of energy consumption have gained significant importance in recent years, particularly in the context of the commercial sector. This thesis presents a comprehensive examination of the techno-economic feasibility and self-consumption potential of a combined photovoltaic (PV) generation and heat pump-based heating system, within the unique context of a retail building. The study begins with a review of the current state of renewable energy technologies and their integration into commercial buildings, highlighting the growing significance of photovoltaic systems and heat pump heating solutions. The study employs advanced modeling and simulation techniques to estimate the potential self-consumption rates and financial benefits of integrating photovoltaic panels and heat pump heating. Factors such as building characteristics, weather conditions, and energy consumption patterns are considered in the analysis. Furthermore, a techno-economic evaluation is carried out to determine the cost-effectiveness of such a system, including the initial investment, operational costs, and potential payback period. Various scenarios and sensitivities are examined to account for uncertainties and variations in system performance. The current study sheds light on the feasibility and practicality of integrating photovoltaic (PV) generation with heat pump-based heating systems in retail buildings. It also offers recommendations for enhancing system performance and cost-effectiveness in this integrated setup. These findings would serve as a practical reference for decision-makers and stakeholders in the retail building sector seeking to balance economic benefits with environmental sustainability.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
