Declining photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage costs could enable “PV plus storage” systems to provide dispatchable energy and reliable capacity. This study explores the technical and economic performance of utility-scale PV plus storage systems. Co-Located? AC = alternating current, DC = direct current.
However, the stochastic and volatile nature of PV output makes its performance in meeting load demand inferior to that of conventional thermal power. To reliably meet the load year-round, an energy system relying solely on PV as its energy source requires the deployment of energy storage capable of storing large quantities of electricity.
A model is proposed to optimize the cost of firm PV generation. The battery, a short-duration storage option, is mainly employed for diurnal storage. The hydrogen system (long-duration storage) primarily caters to inter-seasonal storage. The incorporation of long-duration storage lowers the system premium by 10%.
DC-coupled system (right figure)—with shared 50-MW inverter—must shift storage output to lower-price periods to accommodate PV output. DC-coupled system value decreases by about 1% relative to independent PV + storage system. Impacts of DC tightly coupled storage systems are more significant.
Combined output of independent PV + storage plant (left figure) is as high as 70 MW, which is possible because of the separate inverters. DC-coupled system (right figure)—with shared 50-MW inverter—must shift storage output to lower-price periods to accommodate PV output.
In all cases the 30% ITC is applied to the PV portion of the system. Benefit/cost ratios are calculated by dividing annualized benefits by costs. The PV-only system has the highest benefit/cost ratio. These results follow historical trends that have resulted in very limited deployment of PV plus storage systems.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide.
