The coupled photovoltaic-energy storage-charging station (PV-ES-CS) is an important approach of promoting the transition from fossil energy consumption to low-carbon energy use. However, the integrated charging station is underdeveloped. One of the key reasons for this is that there lacks the evaluation of its economic and environmental benefits.
In 2010, the cost of building a concentrated solar power plant was estimated at 9 million euros per megawatt of installed capacity. Despite technical advances, the cost of such projects is still at least 10 times higher than photovoltaics.
As seen in the largest photovoltaic projects in the world commissioned in 2019-2021, the cost of building a large photovoltaic solar power plant ranges from 500 thousand to 1 million euros for each megawatt of installed capacity.
The thermal energy storage system is the main driver for the high flexibility of CSP systems. Primarily due to the stochasticity of the solar resource, CSP plants without storage operate with capacity factors in the range of 22–28 %, depending on technology and location .
A decline in energy storage costs increases the benefits of all-scale investments, an increase in electric vehicles promotes the benefits of small-scale investments, expansion of the peak-to-valley price distance increases the benefits of large-scale investments.
The trade-off between solar multiple and thermal storage capacity is crucial in achieving cost-effective power generation in CSP plants. The solar multiple expresses the ratio between the thermal energy captured by the solar field and that required to operate the power cycle at a nominal load .
