Which PV system has the highest benefit/cost ratio?
In all cases the 30% ITC is applied to the PV portion of the system. Benefit/cost ratios are calculated by dividing annualized benefits by costs. The PV-only system has the highest benefit/cost ratio. These results follow historical trends that have resulted in very limited deployment of PV plus storage systems.
Can a utility-scale PV plus storage system provide reliable capacity?
Declining photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage costs could enable “PV plus storage” systems to provide dispatchable energy and reliable capacity. This study explores the technical and economic performance of utility-scale PV plus storage systems. Co-Located? AC = alternating current, DC = direct current.
How does independent PV + storage increase value?
Increases value by about 1% relative to independent PV + storage. In other periods (July 1 shown here), storage plant cannot be fully utilized because of the operation of the PV system. Combined output of independent PV + storage plant (left figure) is as high as 70 MW, which is possible because of the separate inverters.
What is PV capacity credit based on?
Capacity credit depends on coincidence of PV with net demand: 40% capacity credit assumed at 6% PV penetration in base case. Annualized avoided capacity cost of $149/kW is assumed based on an estimate of the financing and operations and maintenance (O&M) cost of a new combustion turbine in California.
What is a PV-only benefit/cost ratio?
With the existing PV ITC (left figure), the PV-only benefit/cost ratio drops below 1 at 24% PV. Adding storage increases the ratio at 24% PV, and the ratio increases with greater degrees of coupling (highest is DC tightly coupled with ITC).
How does co-locating a solar inverter reduce the cost of deploying solar?
Coupling by co-locating storage and solar can decrease the overall net costs of deploying PV and storage (AC coupling). Further cost reductions are possible via sharing the inverter (DC coupling). This can reduce clipping but can result in non-optimal storage dispatch, especially if the storage capacity is sized close to the size of the inverter.
To study this idea, in this paper we estimate the required storage capacity as a function of renewable energy generation and grid capacity in Israel, and use the results to calculate the current required storage costs, which is then compared to the expected costs of grid development.
