Xiantao energy storage feasibility study

How to achieve the viability of the energy storage system?

According to the results, the viability of the energy storage system can be achieved in different ways. The first way would be to reduce current investment costs in storage systems. In the second way, the energy sale price is higher than the current sale price.

What factors affect the financial feasibility of energy storage systems?

Furthermore, another factor that affects the capacity and subsequently the financial feasibility of energy storage systems is the size and location of the modelled solar PV system.

What is the efficiency of a battery storage system?

For the battery storage system, a 90 % round-trip efficiency was used, representing the use of a generic LIB , . For the H 2 energy storage system, a 30 % round-trip efficiency was used, a value that could also be lower for small-scale energy storage applications.

Which energy storage technology is most financially feasible?

It was also shown that out of the considered energy storage technologies, LIB storage is the most financially feasible storage technology in small-scale applications with a LCOE close to the that of solar PV systems in some scenarios.

How can a decarbonized energy system research platform overcome intermittency challenges?

A deeply decarbonized energy system research platform needs materials science advances in battery technology to overcome the intermittency challenges of wind and solar electricity. Simultaneously, policies designed to build market growth and innovation in battery storage may complement cost reductions across a suite of clean energy technologies.

Why is energy storage important?

Energy storage has been identified as a strategic solution to the operation management of the electric power system to guarantee the reliability, economic feasibility, and a low carbon footprint.
