Combined output of independent PV + storage plant (left figure) is as high as 70 MW, which is possible because of the separate inverters. DC-coupled system (right figure)—with shared 50-MW inverter—must shift storage output to lower-price periods to accommodate PV output.
After the end of the service life of the energy storage power station, the assets of the power station need to be disposed of, and the end-of-life costs mainly include asset evaluation fees, clean-up fees, dismantling and transportation fees, and recycling and regeneration treatment fees.
Therefore, the residual value of an energy storage power station is defined as the residual value at the end of the life of the power station, excluding the disposal cost. If the disposal fee is greater than the recycling value of the power station, it is the cost; otherwise, it is the income. γ γ is related to the type of battery technology.
According to the results, the viability of the energy storage system can be achieved in different ways. The first way would be to reduce current investment costs in storage systems. In the second way, the energy sale price is higher than the current sale price.
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.
Increases value by about 1% relative to independent PV + storage. In other periods (July 1 shown here), storage plant cannot be fully utilized because of the operation of the PV system. Combined output of independent PV + storage plant (left figure) is as high as 70 MW, which is possible because of the separate inverters.
