High variable renewable energy (VRE) grids will require seasonal energy storage or flexible power generation

• Exceeding ~80% VRE penetration will require seasonal energy storage or flexible low-carbon generation[1][2][3]

– Intermittent operation with low capacity factors

• Limitations of previous studies

– Historic capital costs that ignore potential for future cost reductions

– Limit storage durations to < 12 hours

– Focus on narrow subset of technologies

• Most technologies experience cost reductions over time (learning, scale)

• Levelized cost of energy (LCOE): Unit price of energy for plant to break even at end of life

• Considers capital costs, finances, return on equity, taxes, O&M costs, and energy input

– Energy storage systems: LCOE includes charging cost (electricity price ÷ RT efficiency)

– Power generation systems: LCOE includes fuel cost (fuel price ÷ discharge efficiency)

• The Storage Financial Analysis Scenario Tool (StoreFAST) provides a general, flexible framework for detailed LCOE calculation and sensitivity analysis across technologies

• Systems designed for 100 MW discharge capacity

• Consider storage durations > 12 hours, up to 7 days

Levelized cost of energy (LCOE) is used as a convenient metric for comparison

LCOE calculation inputs• Capital & O&M costs• Plant size, life, efficiency• Electricity and/or fuel cost• Finance specifications• Annual operation (capacity factor)

Accurately comparing LCOE requires specification of capital and operating costs, system and component performance, and plant financing

LCOE calculation outputs• LCOE comparison• Cost breakdown• Sensitivity analysis• Monte Carlo analysis

Asset utilization depends on operating costs. PLEXOS modeling used to estimate technology-specific capacity factors

• At least 5 days of storage was desired by the grid in the PLEXOS modeling

• Capacity factors are specific to region (Western U.S.) and scenario (85% VRE)

• PLEXOS NG-CC / NG-CT CFs verified with published CEC data and personal communication with a utility

• NG-CC|CCS CF is interpolated between NG-CT and NG-CC as a f(var OpEx)

Discharge duration at full power

• PHS and VRB are very competitive with PHS at 12-hour storage durations if future cost reductions are achieved

• Ethanol’s high variable OpEx results in a low capacity factor and high LCOE

Discharge duration at full power

• Above 48 hours of storage, HDV fuel cells with geologic storage and NGCC|CCS have very similar LCOE due to low cost geologic storage

• HDV fuel cells provide lower capital cost with sufficient durability for this application

Scenario: Future Costs

At 120 hours, HDV-PEM|Salt and NG-CC|CCS have the lowest LCOE

NREL | 18

• With current costs, D-CAES and NG-CC|CCS provide the lowest LCOE

• If future capital costs are realized, geologic hydrogen and NG-CC|CCS are the most competitive

• Accounts for sensitivity to learning rate, future scale, and cost of energy input

• Without geologic storage or CCS: P-TES, Eth-CC, H2-pipes are lowest-cost options

• Uncertainty analysis shows significant overlap in technologies

Geologic H2 storage and NGCC|CCS provide lowest cost future options for 120h of flexible power

Store-FAST Purpose

• Provide consistent framework for evaluation of utility scale flexible power

– Energy storage systems

– Flexible power generators

• Allow side-by-side evaluation of diverse technology options

• Incorporate use profiles informed by grid models

• Provide risk analysis based on for variability and uncertainty of inputs

NREL | 21

Caveats and Limitations

• The model attributes cost to energy and hydrogen co-products only. Revenue is not modeled from other possible value streams:

– ancillary services

– transmission deferment

• Model reflects an 85% renewable grid scenario.

• Model can use simple amortization of any refurbishment costs (it does not perform detailed capitalization of refurbishment costs such as stack replacements, battery replacements)

NREL | 22

Store-FAST Model Based on H2-FAST

User inputs– Capital costs (charging, storage, discharging)– Maintenance cost (fixed, variable)– System usage (capacity factors, system life)– Energy use (charging, fuel use, standing losses) – Energy prices (electricity, fuel, co-product value)– Financial parameters (e.g. depreciation schedule, interest rates, etc.)

Model computation framework: Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)– Income statement projections (revenues, expenses, taxes)– Cash flow statement projections (cash on hand, capital expenditures, financing

transactions)– Balance sheet projections (assets, liabilities, equity)

Model outputs– Levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) – total, breakdown, distribution– Financial performance parameters (e.g. Internal rate of return, pay-back period,

break-even price of hydrogen)– Time series charts for all financial line items
