When the energy storage system lifetime is of 10 years, and the cost is equal to or more than 375 $/kWh, the optimization configuration capacity is 0 MWh, which means no energy storage installation. The annual revenue of the simulated wind-storage system is 12.78 million dollars, which is purely from the sale of wind generation.
The results indicated that mechanical energy storage systems, namely PHS and CAES, are still the most cost-efficient options for bulk energy storage. PHS and CAES approximately add 54 and 71 €/MWh respectively, to the cost of charging power. The project׳s environmental permitting costs and contingency may increase the costs, however.
When integrating the energy storage plant, it stores the wind power when the electricity price is low, and releases it when the price is high. The total income of the wind-storage coupled system can be significantly increased. However, it will increase the initial investment by adding energy storage system.
The energy storage plant cost is set as 150, 225, 300, 375 and 450$/kWh respectively. The energy storage plant’s optimum capacity of for a wind generation is calculated considering energy arbitrage, so is the annual benefit of wind-storage coupled system with the optimal capacity.
