Renewable and energy storage hybrid systems used to supply firm electricity. Energy storage substantially improves the capacity credit of wind power from 4% to 26%. Levelized cost of hybrid systems assessed across different supply modes and scales. Optimal choice for a hybrid system depends on the scale rather than supply strategy.
By 2030, total installed costs could fall between 50% and 60% (and battery cell costs by even more), driven by optimisation of manufacturing facilities, combined with better combinations and reduced use of materials. Battery lifetimes and performance will also keep improving, helping to reduce the cost of services delivered.
Energy storage substantially improves the capacity credit of wind power from 4% to 26%. Levelized cost of hybrid systems assessed across different supply modes and scales. Optimal choice for a hybrid system depends on the scale rather than supply strategy. Levelized cost of utility PV & Li-ion battery systems could reduce by 30% by 2030.
Optimal coordination of energy storage systems (ESSs) significantly improves power reliability and resilience, especially in implementing renewable energy sources (RESs) [ 2 ]. The most popular ESSs used in this context are battery energy storage systems (BESS) and supercapacitors (SC).
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.
Hybrid systems with an aggregated supply of 50% wind & 50% PV offer the lowest levelized costs for Generation (0.14 EUR/kWh), Generation & peak (0.14 EUR/kWh), Bi-peak (0.17 EUR/kWh) and Baseload (0.15 EUR/kWh) compared with all other combinations of PV & wind hybrid systems.
