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.
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.
Storage is more valuable for wind than solar in two out of the three locations studied (Texas and Massachusetts), but across all locations the benefit from storage is roughly similar across the two energy resources, in terms of the percentage increase in value due to the incorporation of optimally sized storage.
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).
χ is shown for a range of storage sizes defined by power (MW storage per MW generation) and duration h (h), for a wind Cgen of US$1 W −1 and and ranging from US$50 kWh −1 –US$150 kWh −1 and US$50 kW −1 –US$150 kW −1 respectively.
