Abstract

Obnovljivi izvori energije postali su ključni fokus zbog zabrinutosti oko zagađenja okoliša i globalnog zatopljenja, što se reflektira u politikama Europske unije. Povećana integracija solarnih elektrana za samoopskrbu smanjuje potrošnju energije iz mreže, uzrokujući značajne izazove za prihode operatora distribucijskih sustava (ODS). Ovaj rad istražuje utjecaj tih promjena na poslovanje ODS-ova, naglašavajući potrebu za prilagodbom poslovnih modela i regulatornih politika kako bi se osigurala održivost elektroenergetskog sustava u budućnosti. Rad također analizira financijski utjecaj instalacije solarnih elektrana na prihode operatora distribucijskog sustava (ODS) na primjeru kućanstva koje je instaliralo solarnu elektranu kapaciteta 5 kW. Analiza pokazuje da kućanstva s instaliranom solarnom elektranom smanjuju svoju potrošnju energije iz mreže za 60%, što rezultira značajnim smanjenjem prihoda ODS-a. U radu se predlažu mjere za ublažavanje ovih negativnih učinaka, uključujući prilagodbu tarifnih modela, ulaganje u napredne mreže i razvoj dodatnih usluga za korisnike. Rezultati sugeriraju potrebu za promjenom poslovnog modela ODS-a u kontekstu sve većeg korištenja obnovljivih izvora energije.

Abstract (english)

Renewable energy sources have become a key focus due to concerns about environmental pollution and global warming, which is reflected in the policies of the European Union. The increased integration of solar power plants for self-supply reduces energy consumption from the grid, causing significant challenges for the revenues of distribution system operators (DSOs). This paper investigates the impact of these changes on the operations of DSOs, emphasizing the need to adapt business models and regulatory policies in order to ensure the sustainability of the electric power system in the future. The paper also analyzes the financial impact of the installation of solar power plants on the income of the distribution system operator (DSO) using the example of a household that installed a solar power plant with a capacity of 5 kW. The analysis shows that households with an installed solar power plant reduce their energy consumption from the grid by 60%, which results in a significant reduction in DSO income. The paper proposes measures to mitigate these negative effects, including adjusting tariff models, investing in advanced networks and developing additional services for users. The results suggest the need to change the business model of ODS in the context of the increasing use of renewable energy source
