4 FAQs about Container power generation valuation standards

How do I develop a valuation tool for energy storage?

Provide technical parameters and relevant data for three example use cases that could be used in a valuation tool. Identify a list of publicly available DOE tools that can provide energy storage valuation insights for ESS use case stakeholders. Provide information on the capabilities and different options in each modeling tool.

What are DOE energy storage valuation tools?

The DOE energy storage valuation tools are valuable for industry, regulators, and other stakeholders to model, optimize, and evaluate different ESSs in a variety of use cases. There are numerous similarities and differences among these tools.

What are variable operations and maintenance costs?

Variable operations and maintenance costs, such as ammonia, water, and miscellaneous chemicals and consumables, are directly proportional to the electricity generated. Fuel costs were estimated for reference unit types using representative fuel specifications for coal, natural gas, and biomass.

How much power does an AC-coupled PV system use?

The AC-coupled system assumes a DC/AC ratio of 1.4, resulting in a DC size of 210 MW. AC-coupled systems are typically built at a higher DC/AC ratio than standalone PV to maximize the amount of available energy to charge the battery energy storage system (BESS) without sacrificing PV output while the BESS is charging or idle.
