The analysis period (number of years over which costs are recovered) of the storage system may be different than the project life (the number of years for which the storage system is in
In terms of storage, the low installed capacities can be explained by the fact that Iran has a high availability of RE sources, particularly wind energy, solar PV and hydropower, which can produce electricity all-year-round (Fig. 6). The total storage capacities soar from 9.7 TWh in the country-wide scenario to 110.9 TWh in the integrated scenario.
The potential for PV is extremely high in Iran, mainly due to having about 300 clear sky sunny days per year on two-thirds of its land area and an average 2200 kWh solar radiation per square meter (Najafi et al. 2015).
Electricity storage is currently an economic solution of-grid in solar home systems and mini-grids where it can also increase the fraction of renewable energy in the system to as high as 100% (IRENA, 2016c). The same applies in the case of islands or other isolated grids that are reliant on diesel-fired electricity (IRENA, 2016a; IRENA, 2016d).
From Table 11, it can be seen that the total LCOE for both analyzed scenarios are low. However, the integrated scenario shows a much more competitive cost for 100% RE energy systems for Iran in the year 2030. An 11% decrease in total LCOE can be observed in the integrated scenario due to a reduction of all estimated levelized costs (Fig. 5).
In the country-wide scenario, the energy system based on RE generation and energy storage technologies covers the country’s power sector electricity demand. The total annual cost and the total capex required to generate 377.7 TWh are 15 and 167 b€, respectively.
Today, an estimated 4.67 TWh of electricity storage exists. This number remains highly uncertain, however, given the lack of comprehensive statistics for renewable energy storage capacity in energy rather than power terms.
