As aforementioned, a mix of 79% wind and 21% solar requires the smallest storage capacity (115.1 TWh). This store, with a cost of £378.9 billion, represents the cheapest storage solution for a 100% overall renewable penetration. Fig. 14.
The overall renewable penetration and the generation mix also influence the rated power of the energy store. In general, the rated power of the store will increase as the penetration of renewables increases.
Total cost of electricity for a 100% renewable penetration (Ω = 0.15, η = 0.7) considering forecast reductions in generation and storage costs. As mentioned in section 4.2, the lowest TCoE that can be achieved under the current economic scenario, for a 100% renewable penetration, is 80.2 £/MWh.
The ‘storage duration’ rating indicates the relationship between the storage capacity and the nominal power rating of the energy store, not the actual amount of time that energy is stored before being used. Fig. 8, Fig. 13 have shown that long-duration or ‘seasonal’ storage will be needed to decarbonize the grid.
For a 100% renewable penetration, the TCoE has the following composition: 60% of the total cost is owed to generation. Wind power accounts for 49% while solar PV panels represent the other 11%. Lastly, energy storage accounts for the remaining 40% of the overall TCoE. Fig. 16. Breakdown of total electricity cost.
The study was carried out using one year’s demand and solar PV generation data with a 1 h resolution. It also pointed out that achieving greater renewable penetrations requires an increase in storage capacity and/or in the amount of energy curtailed.
