The photovoltaic installed capacity set in the figure is 2395kW. When the energy storage capacity is 1174kW h, the user’s annual expenditure is the smallest and the economic benefit is the best. Fig. 4. The impact of energy storage capacity on annual expenditures.
When the electricity price is relatively high and the photovoltaic output does not meet the user’s load requirements, the energy storage releases the stored electricity to reduce the user’s electricity purchase costs.
The optimal configuration capacity of photovoltaic and energy storage depends on several factors such as time-of-use electricity price, consumer demand for electricity, cost of photovoltaic and energy storage, and the local annual solar radiation.
Putting a PV system and a storage system in the same place, known as co-location, enables the two systems to share some hardware components, which can lower costs. Co-location can also reduce costs related to site preparation, land acquisition, labor for installation, permitting, interconnection, and developer overhead and profit.
The system costs range from $380 per kWh for those that can provide electricity for 4 hours to $895 per kWh for 30-minute systems. All right, so what will a 100-megawatt PV system with a 60-megawatt lithium-ion battery with 4 hours of storage cost?
This paper considers the annual comprehensive cost of the user to install the photovoltaic energy storage system and the user’s daily electricity bill to establish a bi-level optimization model. The outer model optimizes the photovoltaic & energy storage capacity, and the inner model optimizes the operation strategy of the energy storage.
