Abstract/Summary:

---

In the framework of the SUNRISE project a study work on the peak power supply by solar electricity was carried out to investigate the impact of the integration of the PV systems into the electrical grid. The results of the study work leads to assume that PV network integration could reduce the peak power demand and the network losses. This paper shows how the PV network integration could reduce the peak power demand and how 240 GWh of electricity could be saved thanks to the integration of 4 GWp of PV residential applications into the French grid.
