ENERGY | Optimization Configuration Analysis of Wind-Solar-Storage
In response to the challenges of matching capacities and high construction costs in wind-solar-storage multi-energy complementary power generation systems, This paper
Some storage technologies today are shown to add value to solar and wind energy, but cost reduction is needed to reach widespread profitability.
Storage can increase the revenue generated by a solar or wind plant, but it also increases the capital costs of the plant. Here we optimize both the discharging behaviour, as done above, and the storage system size, to maximize the value of the electricity generation.
With either wind (“Wind only”) or solar (“PV only”) available, storage's system value is greater than the value estimated when both wind and solar resources are deployed (“base case”). This finding reflects the complementary nature of the hourly availability profiles of wind and solar resources in the analyzed systems.
The average selling price without storage is lower for wind than solar, but as the energy storage increases in size (per unit rated power of solar or wind generation), the pricing distribution and mean selling price become increasingly similar across the two energy resources (Supplementary Figs 6–8).
Net value of energy storage ($/kW-year) as a function of storage penetration (as % of peak demand) and duration, VRE penetration for the North and South systems. Net value defined as storage system value minus the annualized capital cost, with latter calculated using 15 year lifetime and 8.1% discount rate.
Results are shown for a wind or solar generation cost of US$1 W −1 and and of US$50 kW −1 and US$50 kWh −1, respectively.
