A critical assessment of optimization techniques relevant to hybrid energy storage systems (HESS) has been addressed in , with an emphasis on long-term system lifespan, manufacturing costs, temperature fluctuations, durability, and charging/discharging.
As the globe moves toward greener energy, scientists are being attracted to integrate ESSs in hybrid renewable power plants to achieve energy independence. Most studies focus on the sizing and integration of battery energy storage.
In the meantime, lower installed costs, longer lifetimes, increased numbers of cycles and improved performance will further drive down the cost of stored electricity services. IRENA has developed a spreadsheet-based “Electricity Storage Cost-of-Service Tool” available for download.
Moreover, recent analyses of integrating energy storage systems with hybrid photovoltaic/wind power systems are also discussed in terms of system modeling, performance analysis indicators, and optimization methods.
The majority of the developed economic cost models for ESSs are based on the cost estimation of three major constituents of an energy storage system which are the balance of plant equipment (BOP), the power transformation system (PCS) and storage module (SU), and .
