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.
The multi-objective optimization results, incorporating load match ratio, grid flexibility factor, and lifetime levelized cost of energy, indicated that integrating PV panels, static battery storage, and EVs can improve grid flexibility in building energy supply systems with TOU pricing.
Therefore, the integration of PV-energy storage systems can greatly reduce the dependence on the power grid, thereby facilitating more flexible regulation for building energy systems. The optimal storage capacities are determined by solving the established MILP model by CPLEX for the PV-TES system, PV-BES system, and PV-HES system.
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.
This article evaluates the economic performance of China''s energy storage technology in the present and near future by analyzing technical and economic data using the levelized cost method.
