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.
Utilizing PCM with the ideal thickness resulted in more than a 22.24 % enhancement in energy storage capacity, almost 9.93 % increase in annual electricity production, a 17.69 % improvement in carbon-dioxide emission reduction, and nearly a 9.59 % boost in levelized cost compared to the standard air-based energy storage method.
NREL researchers developed an open-source model to optimize energy storage operation for utility-scale solar-plus-storage systems in both alternating-current-coupled (left) and direct-current-coupled (right) configurations.
The findings showed that integrating CAESS with solar photovoltaic (PV) systems resulted in a cost savings in energy ranging from $0.015 to $0.021 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for the optimal system. This integration allowed for effective load shifting, leading to significant energy cost reductions.
