Should energy storage be undervalued?
The revenue potential of energy storage is often undervalued. Investors could adjust their evaluation approach to get a true estimate—improving profitability and supporting sustainability goals.
How does independent PV + storage increase value?
Increases value by about 1% relative to independent PV + storage. In other periods (July 1 shown here), storage plant cannot be fully utilized because of the operation of the PV system. Combined output of independent PV + storage plant (left figure) is as high as 70 MW, which is possible because of the separate inverters.
How many mw can a PV & storage plant produce?
Combined output of independent PV + storage plant (left figure) is as high as 70 MW, which is possible because of the separate inverters. DC-coupled system (right figure)—with shared 50-MW inverter—must shift storage output to lower-price periods to accommodate PV output.
Can a utility-scale PV plus storage system provide reliable capacity?
Declining photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage costs could enable “PV plus storage” systems to provide dispatchable energy and reliable capacity. This study explores the technical and economic performance of utility-scale PV plus storage systems. Co-Located? AC = alternating current, DC = direct current.
How does co-locating a solar inverter reduce the cost of deploying solar?
Coupling by co-locating storage and solar can decrease the overall net costs of deploying PV and storage (AC coupling). Further cost reductions are possible via sharing the inverter (DC coupling). This can reduce clipping but can result in non-optimal storage dispatch, especially if the storage capacity is sized close to the size of the inverter.
Do investors underestimate the value of energy storage?
While energy storage is already being deployed to support grids across major power markets, new McKinsey analysis suggests investors often underestimate the value of energy storage in their business cases.
Evaluating energy storage tech revenue potential
