Maximizing the Benefits of On-Site Renewable Energy
To achieve sustainability goals while meeting the increasing electricity demands of electrification, organizations are pairing on-site solar PV generation with on-site energy
To achieve sustainability goals while meeting the increasing electricity demands of electrification, organizations are pairing on-site solar PV generation with on-site energy storage. These systems, which are considered as “behind-the-meter” (BTM) systems, allow facilities to maximize the benefits of on-site renewable generation.
This relationship suggests that 6-to-10-h storage is the ideal duration to support the diurnal cycles of solar power. In wind-dominant scenarios, 6-to-10-h storage is replaced by 10-to-20-h storage that appears better suited to support wind-dominant grids.
While the term long-duration energy storage (LDES) is often used for storage technologies with a power-to-energy ratio between 10 and 100 h, 1 we introduce the term ultra-long-duration energy storage (ULDES) for storage that can cover durations longer than 100 h (4 days) and thus act like a firm resource.
If a utility restricts the exports from a facility to the grid, the use of on-site storage alongside solar PV can provide a solution to avoid costly infrastructure upgrades, thus increasing the feasibility of larger on-site PV installations.
However, if wind and solar penetration rises to cover all demand in the absence of other generation technologies, longer duration energy storage becomes necessary to supply multiple days or weeks of dark wind lulls and seasonal variations in supply and demand, as well as to bridge years of low renewable production.
Thermal energy storage system, while has complex technology and high operation and maintenance costs, but offers substantial capacity and high safety, enabling broader applications across Generation, Grid, and Load.
