Can energy storage improve solar and wind power?

With the falling costs of solar PV and wind power technologies, the focus is increasingly moving to the next stage of the energy transition and an energy systems approach, where energy storage can help integrate higher shares of solar and wind power.

How much does wind energy cost?

Other sources recently noted that the LCOE generated from wind is now below USD 0.068/kWh (€0.050/kWh) for most of the projects in high resource areas (United States , Brazil, Sweden, Mexico) (Cleantechnica, 2011). This compares to current estimated average costs of USD 0.067/kWh for coal-fired power and USD 0.056/ kWh for gas-fired power.

Can wind power reduce the cost of a distributed generation lifecycle?

Different energy portfolios (PV, PV with government subsidies, PV with Wind generation) and capacity were investigated through an optimization algorithm to reduce the distributed generation lifecycle cost. The analysis showed that exploring wind power can realize cost-savings in locations where the average wind speed was above 4.8 m/s .

What is the revenue of wind-storage system?

The revenue of wind-storage system is composed of wind generation revenue, energy storage income and its cost. With the TOU price, the revenue of the wind-storage system is determined by the total generated electricity and energy storage performance.

What is the annual revenue of wind-storage coupled system?

The annual revenue of the wind-storage coupled system is 12.78 million dollars which is the income of wind generation only sold to the grid or customer. With the decrease of energy storage plant cost and the increase of lifetime, the best storage capacity and the corresponding annual income of wind-storage coupled system increase.

How much money does a simulated wind-storage system make?

When the energy storage system lifetime is of 10 years, and the cost is equal to or more than 375 $/kWh, the optimization configuration capacity is 0 MWh, which means no energy storage installation. The annual revenue of the simulated wind-storage system is 12.78 million dollars, which is purely from the sale of wind generation.
