Does a zero-emissions western North American grid provide a value for long-duration storage?

This study models a zero-emissions Western North American grid to provide guidelines and understand the value of long-duration storage as a function of different generation mixes, transmission expansion decisions, storage costs, and storage mandates.

How long does a grid need to store electricity?

First, our results suggest to industry and grid planners that the cost-effective duration for storage is closely tied to the grid’s generation mix. Solar-dominant grids tend to need 6-to-8-h storage while wind-dominant grids have a greater need for 10-to-20-h storage.

What are grid-related costs?

Grid-related costs also run into some boundary setting and definitional difficulties. Grid costs are undoubtedly a feature of some renewable energy developments: some wind or solar farms might be remote and require transmission extension; others are connected to local networks that may require upgrades.

Are off-grid systems cheaper than grid-extension?

For the most part, grid-extension is the least-cost option, but given that its cost range can vary widely, off-grid systems are the preferred option in some cases. Out of these 16 publications, only 7 of them provide evidence of costs explicitly comparing these options, either using generation costs, levelised costs or LCC metrics.

What is the difference between grid electricity access and off-grid?

For the purpose of this review, grid electricity access refers to conventional centralised grid-extension systems typically powered by fossil-fuels and off-grid refers to decentralised solutions including stand-alone and mini-grid technologies powered mainly by renewables such as solar PV and batteries.

Is grid-extension a cost-optimised solution for un-electrified communities in Ghana?

Notably, a study conducted by Kemausuor et al. found grid-extension as the cost-optimised solution for more than 85% of the 2,600 un-electrified communities analysed in Ghana, due to the country's extensive pre-existing grid network coverage.
