What is solar-plus-storage?
For solar-plus-storage—the pairing of solar photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage technologies—NREL researchers study and quantify the unique economic and grid benefits reaped by distributed and utility-scale systems. Much of NREL's current energy storage research is informing solar-plus-storage analysis.
How does solar-plus-storage affect energy systems?
Solar-plus-storage shifts some of the solar system's output to evening and night hours and provides other grid benefits. NREL employs a variety of analysis approaches to understand the factors that influence solar-plus-storage deployment and how solar-plus-storage will affect energy systems.
How will new solar regulations affect Switzerland's electricity grid?
“The new regulations encourage the temporary storage of solar production peaks, which helps relieve the electricity grids,” said Swissolar. Switzerland installed approximately 1.78 GW of new PV capacity in , according to provisional figures from Swissolar.
Is energy storage a viable option for utility-scale solar energy systems?
Energy storage has become an increasingly common component of utility-scale solar energy systems in the United States. Much of NREL's analysis for this market segment focuses on the grid impacts of solar-plus-storage systems, though costs and benefits are also frequently considered.
Can a solar energy storage system be installed in a commercial building?
Just as PV systems can be installed in small-to-medium-sized installations to serve residential and commercial buildings, so too can energy storage systems—often in the form of lithium-ion batteries.
Can NREL optimize energy storage operation for utility-scale solar-plus-storage systems?
NREL researchers developed an open-source model to optimize energy storage operation for utility-scale solar-plus-storage systems in both alternating-current-coupled (left) and direct-current-coupled (right) configurations.
Solar energy is expected to account for around 14% of Switzerland’s energy consumption this year. The trade body has called for a rapid expansion of energy storage capacity, backed by incentives that prompt owners to operate in a manner which strengthens the grid.
