How much does the power storage project cost Cost: PSH is one of the most cost-effective large-scale storage solutions, with a cost of about $263/kWh for a 100 MW, 10-hour system.
In commercial/industrial and utility microgrids, soft costs (43% and 24%, respectively) represent significant portion of the total costs per megawatt. Finally, energy storage contributes significantly to the total cost of commercial and community microgrids, which have percentages of 25% and 15%, respectively, of the total costs per megawatt.
Seven solar-plus-storage microgrids are live to date, Christopher Burgess, project director for RMI’s Islands Energy Program told Solar Magazine, all of which seem to be based on their locational value in terms of meeting loads islands wide.
The analysis shows that controller cost data as a percentage of total microgrid costs have a wide range of costs among the projects in our database. In total, we had controller cost data for 21 microgrids out of a total of 80 projects. Controller costs per megawatt range from $6,200/MW–$470,000/MW, excluding outliers, with a mean of $155,000/MW.
Solar-plus-storage microgrids have offered ongoing help to provide electricity to Bahamians, prior to and since Hurricane Dorian.
Furthermore, energizing the USD105 million, Wilson City Power Plant on Grand Bahama, which hasn’t been operational since construction began in 2012. A 5-MW or greater capacity coal-fired power plant such as Wilson needs a sufficient load in order to operate, Burgess said in an interview. The Wilson City Power Plant comes in at 48 MW.
Grand Bahama and Abaco, Grand Bahama in particular, contributed funds, as well, according to Burgess. New distribution lines stretch 30 miles (48.3 kilometers) to generation sites, such as the Wilson City Power Plant on Grand Bahama, Burgess continued.
