As the energy storage market continues to expand, the costs of both short- and long-duration storage are expected to steadily decrease in the future owing to economies of scale and learning curves. On this account, this subsection analyzes the changes in asset deployment and system economics resulting from the reduction in storage costs.
A model is proposed to optimize the cost of firm PV generation. The battery, a short-duration storage option, is mainly employed for diurnal storage. The hydrogen system (long-duration storage) primarily caters to inter-seasonal storage. The incorporation of long-duration storage lowers the system premium by 10%.
As the energy system transitions towards deep decarbonization, photovoltaic (PV) technology has emerged as the preferred choice for electricity generation in many regions due to its green and clean attributes and technological maturity.
However, many previous studies on firm PV generation only considered batteries as the energy storage option, which notoriously elevates the overall system costs owing to the short-duration nature of battery storage.
The PVSyst program provides effective support in the process of designing photovoltaic systems, enabling optimisation of efficiency, minimisation of operating costs and increase in the
