Abstract
In Australia, the main driver behind the rapid raise in electricity price over the past decade was the heavy investment in upgrading the electrical grid infrastructure to cope with the steep rise in power demand. In this thesis, a radical solution to reduce the impact of reverse cycle air-conditioners and solar PV systems in Australian homes on the grid is proposed. Deploying solar standalone air-conditioner (SSA_AC) in Australian's homes is proposed as a solution. Using modelling and simulation, the viability of 10 types of SSA_A/C are assessed after optimizing the size of each SSA_A/C using techno-economic optimization methodology. The results showed that different kind of SSA_A/C can be suitable for different states in Australia. The economic viability of SSA_A/C depends on the close proximity from the main grid system and provision of financial incentive.
