LCOE accounts for the operational differences between energy storage and power generation systems, including potential degradation and self-discharge, in addition to the difference in the cost of energy input; energy storage systems require charging electricity, whereas flexible generation technologies require fuel.
Energy storage systems (ESSs) are critical components of renewable energy technologies, and they are a growing area of renewed attention. The system requirements, cost, and performance characteristics largely influence the technology of choice .
Energy storage systems can provide many additional benefits to the grid, such as ancillary services, transmission congestion relief, transmission and distribution deferral, startup and shutdown cost reductions, and improved grid resilience in the event of extreme weather events. These benefits are not captured in the LCOE.
Three basic functions of electrical energy storage (EES) are to reduce the cost of the electricity supply by storing energy during off-peak hours, increase reliability during unplanned outages or disasters, and maintain and enhance power quality in terms of frequency and voltage.
The pattern for a seasonal energy storage system installed in the western US is driven by a combination of low load and high solar, wind, and hydropower production early in the year and by increased electricity demand and reduced availability of renewable resources in the summer, when wind and hydropower generation decrease.
Ultimately, the choice of an energy storage system depends on various factors such as energy density, power output, cycle life, cost, safety, and sustainability, tailored to specific needs and applications. 11. Conclusions
