The economic scheduling of energy storage and storage, and energy management of power supply systems can effectively reduce the operating costs of photovoltaic systems . The second issue is the scientific planning and construction of photovoltaic energy storage.
However, if hydrogen is produced by reducing the amount of electricity connected to the grid, the overall benefits of the photovoltaic power plant will be lost. Thirdly, energy storage can bring more revenue for PV power plants, but the capacity of energy storage is limited, so it can't be used as the main consumption path for PV power generation.
Thirdly, energy storage can bring more revenue for PV power plants, but the capacity of energy storage is limited, so it can't be used as the main consumption path for PV power generation. The more photovoltaic power generation used for energy storage, the greater the total profit of the power station.
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.
Therefore, photovoltaic power generation companies need to focus on maximizing value through cooperative games with multiple parties such as the power grid, users, energy storage, and hydrogen energy. China's photovoltaic power generation technology has achieved remarkable advancements, leading to high power generation efficiency.
Nonetheless, it was also estimated that in 2020 these services could be economically feasible for PV power plants. In contrast, in , the energy storage value of each of these services (firming and time-shift) were studied for a 2.5 MW PV power plant with 4 MW and 3.4 MWh energy storage. In this case, the PV plant is part of a microgrid.
