Thanks to recent technological advances, which have made large-scale electricity storage economically viable, a combination of solar generation and storage holds the promise of cheaper, greener, and more reliable off-grid power in the future.
The reason is that such off-grid locations exhibit known, constant backup costs as they typically have only one type of generator as backup, no merit ordering, and no capacity or energy auctions. As a consequence, the value of solar is easy to compute and equal to the cost of the backup generation it replaces.
A battery-based energy storage system (BESS) [ 6] is indispensable for compensating for the imbalances between generation and demand in an off-grid nanogrid [ 7, 8 ]. Nevertheless, a nanogrid employing a stand-alone BESS is very costly. Accordingly, studies focus on sharing generation and storage resources via transmission lines [ 9, 10, 11 ].
This problem is quite common in developing countries but is also present in the developed world; whether one looks at islands in Europe or remote villages in the Americas, off-grid power is typically provided through burning fossil fuels, with the same drawbacks of cost and pollution everywhere.
It supposes that off-grid nanogrids could store surplus PV in batteries and then supply fully-charged batteries to a battery swapping station (BSS) serving electric vehicles (EVs). In this paper, we address a capacity planning framework for such a nanogrid.
Nanogrids provide viable solutions for accommodating an ultra-high penetration level of distributed photovoltaic (PV) generation [ 1, 2 ]. A PV-based nanogrid usually spreads out in a smaller geographic area and entails a smaller capacity.
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. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%.
