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.
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.
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.
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.
For example, for an X photovoltaic power station, 90 % of its revenue comes from the sales of electricity connected to the grid. The maximum revenue from the PV plant is 6200 million dollars, at which point the PV is used for grid access, storage and hydrogen production at 372GW, 210GW and 250 GW, respectively.
The electricity generated by photovoltaic power can be freely used without restrictions from policies and other factors. The electricity price for energy storage is always higher than feed-in tariffs. The maximum capacity or demand for energy storage is 250GW per year.
