The launch of the solar power and battery storage project marks a pivotal moment in the clean energy transformation, allowing renewable energy to be dispatched 24 hours a day, seven days a week, reaffirming the UAE’s position as a global pioneer in renewable energy deployment.
However, many previous studies on firm PV generation only considered batteries as the energy storage option, which notoriously elevates the overall system costs owing to the short-duration nature of battery storage.
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%.
In addition, although some studies have analyzed the impact of changes in storage costs and options on the system configuration and energy scheduling, a notable absence of in-depth discussion remains specifically concerning PV-only energy systems, which are prevalent in remote areas such as off-shore islands.
In addition, the 19GWh battery storage facility will enable seamless integration of solar power into the grid. By integrating state-of-the-art renewable technologies with energy storage solutions, this landmark project exemplifies the UAE’s commitment to scaling innovative clean energy solutions to meet evolving energy demands.
The record-breaking solar power and battery storage project will create over 10,000 new jobs, driving innovation and economic growth
