6 FAQs about [Reasonable proportion of energy storage]
How much does a storage energy capacity cost?
We estimate that cost-competitively meeting baseload demand 100% of the time requires storage energy capacity costs below $20/kWh. If other sources meet demand 5% of the time, electricity costs fall and the energy capacity cost target rises to $150/kWh.
Why is a reasonable allocation of energy storage important?
A reasonable allocation of energy storage ensures the safety support of thermal power for system operation and reduces the operational hours of thermal power units. This mechanism contributes to solving the issue of large-scale renewable energy curtailment.
What are the performance parameters of energy storage capacity?
Our findings show that energy storage capacity cost and discharge efficiency are the most important performance parameters. Charge/discharge capacity cost and charge efficiency play secondary roles. Energy capacity costs must be ≤US$20 kWh –1 to reduce electricity costs by ≥10%.
How does storage energy capacity affect solar power?
As storage energy capacity costs increase, the solar power plant size increases (B), optimal storage duration decreases (C), and storage power capacity relative to output power increases (D). Solar cost of ownership is estimated as $1,000/kW for all three cases, and the EAF is 100%.
How efficient is energy storage?
The specific operational analysis reveals that the optimal allocation of energy storage enables effective charging and discharging of the corresponding energy storage forms during typical days of each month and across all four seasons, resulting in excellent performance.
Do charge power and energy storage capacity investments have O&M costs?
We provide a conversion table in Supplementary Table 5, which can be used to compare a resource with a different asset life or a different cost of capital assumption with the findings reported in this paper. The charge power capacity and energy storage capacity investments were assumed to have no O&M costs associated with them.
