6 FAQs about [Economics of energy storage for dispatchable solar]

Why do solar power plants need to be dispatchable?

It is found that increasing the dispatchability of solar power plants will necessarily lead to the emergence of additional energy losses and important LCOE increase, either because of low round-trip efficiency of the storage system, or because of its high cost of energy capacity.

Can solar power be used as a storage system?

Despite lower energy production for a given collecting area, combination of PV power plants with electrochemical storage or thermal energy storage surprisingly seem to be the most promising paths. The deployment of solar power has known a tremendous growth in the last decades.

Which technology can provide dispatchable solar power at times without sunshine?

Can energy storage technology help a grid with more renewable power?

Energy storage technologies with longer durations of 10 to 100 h could enable a grid with more renewable power, if the appropriate cost structure and performance—capital costs for power and energy, round-trip efficiency, self-discharge, etc.—can be realized.
