The results of the economic feasibility assessment of photovoltaic (PV) microgeneration systems by the criterion of the cost of energy are presented. The assessment is based on dynamic modelling of three different configurations of grid-connected PV systems - without energy storage, with electrical energy storage and with thermal energy storage - performed for weather and electricity tariff conditions of several prospective Russian regions. Government support measures and regulatory standards currently developing in Russia for microgeneration technologies are taken into account. It is shown that under certain conditions PV microgeneration technologies could be economically feasible in some energy isolated areas and non-pricing zones of the wholesale electricity and capacity market of Russia, particularly in the Sakha Republic, whereas in pricing zones - couldn’t for any of the considered system configurations.
