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.
Result is a total capacity value of $7.5 million/year. DC-coupling causes no decline in capacity value, because the PV capacity credit (20 MW) plus the storage capacity (30 MW) equals the inverter capacity of 50 MW. Independent, AC-coupled, and DC-coupled (flexible charging) storage receives 7-year MACRS (Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System).
Combined output of independent PV + storage plant (left figure) is as high as 70 MW, which is possible because of the separate inverters. DC-coupled system (right figure)—with shared 50-MW inverter—must shift storage output to lower-price periods to accommodate PV output.
In, different methods are presented for sizing batteries only in photovoltaic energy plants to maximize the total annual revenue and try to find cost-effective storage sizes. In, the maximization of economic indexes are evaluated to obtain a hybrid plant, but with PV generation and storage, which is the only asset to be sized.
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.
