And, the installed capacity of the wind storage combined system is 150 MW, and the maximum capacity of energy storage is 60 MWh. The evaluation of LCOE in this paper does not take into account the income of electricity sold from the grid, so its price is very competitive.
Therefore, the LCOE of wind power and energy storage projects can be expressed as: (29) L C O E = C 1 + (∑ n = 1 N C W O n + C W D n − C W R n + T A X n + C S O n + C S D n − C S R n + C S T n) ⋅ (1 + r) − n ∑ n = 1 N (C E L C C ⋅ H n) (1 + r) − n where, C 1 is the initial construction cost of CWSS;
And the installed capacity of the combined wind-storage generation system is different from the thermal unit, its installed capacity cannot be completely equivalent to replace the thermal unit. The ability of the CWSS is limited to replace the thermal unit, so this paper adopts the ELCC to replace the effective installed capacity of the CWSS.
Energy storage technology supporting wind power generation, can provide peak cutting and valley filling services, smooth output fluctuation, tracking forecast curve and other functions, is one of the effective ways to solve the problem of wind power integration [, , ].
