6 FAQs about [PV plus energy storage price]

How many MWh can a PV-plus-battery system store?

After accounting for state-of-charge and roundtrip efficiency constraints, the oversized battery component allows for 240 megawatt hours (MWh) of usable stored energy. The assumed relative sizing of the PV, battery, and inverter components is consistent with existing (but limited) data for online and proposed utility-scale PV-plus-battery systems.

What is PV-plus-battery technology?

The PV-plus-battery technology is represented as having a 134-MW DC PV array, a 78-MW DC battery (60-MW DC usable with 4-hour duration), and a shared 100-MW AC inverter. Therefore, the PV component has a DC-to-AC ratio (or inverter loading ratio [ILR]) of 1.34.

Why are DC-coupled PV-plus-battery systems more energy efficient?

DC-coupled PV-plus-battery systems with higher ILRs will have higher total energy output because of the additional DC capacity of the PV array; without a DC-coupled battery, this additional energy would be clipped by the inverter, as shown in the figure below.

What is the average annual reduction rate for PV-plus-battery?

The average annual reduction rates are 1.3% (Conservative Scenario), 2.6% (Moderate Scenario), and 3.5% (Advanced Scenario). The utility-scale PV-plus-battery technology represents a DC-coupled system (described in the figure below), in which one-axis tracking PV and 4-hour lithium-ion battery (LIB) storage share a single bidirectional inverter.

What is the capacity factor of a utility-scale PV-plus-battery system?

The capacity factor of the utility-scale PV-plus-battery system is a function of the capacity factors of the PV and battery components, assuming a certain amount (Y% in the figure below) of the battery energy is charged from the coupled PV.

What drives utility-scale PV-plus-battery projections?

Utility-scale PV-plus-battery projections are driven primarily by CAPEX cost improvements along with improvements in energy yield, operating cost, and cost of capital (for the Market + Policies Financial Assumptions Case). For more information, see the Financial Cases and Methods page.
