Utility-scale photovoltaics and storage: Decarbonizing and reducing greenhouse gases abatement costs

Edgar Virguez et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that adding battery energy storage (BES) to a power system including photovoltaics (PV) can further reduce carbon dioxide emissions and lower the cost of carbon abatement. Additionally, it suggests that shorter duration BES are more cost-effective when PV penetration is low, while longer duration BES are more cost-effective with higher shares of PV.

The persistence of flexible coal in a deeply decarbonizing energy system

Yongbin Ding et al.

Summary: The challenge of integrating variable renewable energy into decarbonized power systems without immediate coal phaseouts is highlighted. Retrofit scenarios to enhance coal unit flexibility are assessed, showing that coal units can persist even at high levels of renewable penetration. These retrofits can help reduce power system costs, facilitate renewable energy integration, and marginally cut emissions, with smaller coal units becoming peaker rather than baseload units.

Deleterious effects of strategic, profit-seeking energy storage operation on electric power system costs

Rui Shan et al.

Summary: Energy storage plays a crucial role in the energy transition, but there are operational modes that may conflict with wider power grid objectives while maximizing profits for storage system owners. This study compares different storage operation modes and highlights the essential role of policymakers and regulators in mitigating the potential negative effects.
