Energy storage has become an increasingly common component of utility-scale solar energy systems in the United States. Much of NREL's analysis for this market segment focuses on the grid impacts of solar-plus-storage systems, though costs and benefits are also frequently considered.
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.
The installation of photovoltaic energy storage systems for large industrial customers can reduce expenditures on electricity purchase and has considerable economic benefits. Different types of energy storage have different life due to diversity in their materials.
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 benefits of photovoltaic is better than the costs, the economic benefits can be raised by increasing the installed capacity of photovoltaic. When the price difference of time-of-use electricity increases, economic benefits can be raised by increasing the capacity of energy storage configuration.
Just as PV systems can be installed in small-to-medium-sized installations to serve residential and commercial buildings, so too can energy storage systems—often in the form of lithium-ion batteries.
