Price of centralized energy storage power station

How much does energy storage cost in China?

In what is described as the largest energy storage procurement in China’s history, Power Construction Corporation of China (PowerChina) is targeting an unprecedented cumulative storage capacity of 16 GWh. The bids were opened on December 4. The tender attracted 76 bidders, with quoted prices ranging from $60.5/kWh to $82/kWh, averaging $66.3/kWh.

How can energy storage stations make money?

In order to alleviate the pressure of electricity supply on the power grid, China has implemented peak-valley price policy, where electricity prices are often higher during peak demand periods. Therefore, energy storage stations can generate profits by taking advantage of the price difference between peak and off-peak electricity.

Why is the electricity price of energy storage power stations higher?

The function of energy storage power stations is to discharge during peak load periods of the power grid, thereby supplying electricity to surrounding users. Therefore, the electricity price of energy storage power stations is higher than the market electricity price.

Why is X photovoltaic power station important in Shanghai?

Because Shanghai has some larger photovoltaic power stations and is a city with great potential for hydrogen energy development. At the same time, the level of energy storage technology is more advanced in Shanghai, with some new energy storage projects. Table 1. Basic data of X photovoltaic power station.

Can photovoltaic power stations use excess electricity?

If photovoltaic power stations want to utilize excess electricity through hydrogen production or energy storage, the cost and profit of hydrogen production and energy storage need to be considered. When the cost is less than the profit, investment and construction can be carried out.

How a reasonable energy storage capacity configuration can promote the utilization rate?

Reasonable energy storage capacity configuration has been proven to promote the utilization rate of photovoltaic energy . The economic scheduling of energy storage and storage, and energy management of power supply systems can effectively reduce the operating costs of photovoltaic systems .
