4 FAQs about Centralized solar power station energy storage cost

Can concentrating solar power be integrated with thermal energy storage?

Concentrating solar power (CSP), when integrated with thermal energy storage (TES), can address both intermittency and storage needs by providing dispatchable renewable electricity.

How flexible is a solar energy storage system?

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 .

How much electricity does a CSP plant cost?

Global weighted average electricity capacity factors for CSP plants rose 66 % from 2011 to 2021. Global weighted average LCoE for CSP fell 68 % from $0.31/kWh in 2010 to $0.10/kWh in 2022. Capital costs for CSP fell 50 % in the last decade to $3000–11000/kW. Adding 6–15 h of thermal storage at $20–60/kW is now considered economical.

How much power can a battery storage system provide?

This case consists of a utility-scale, lithium-ion, battery energy storage system (BESS) with a 150 MW power rating and 600 MWh energy rating; the system can provide 150 MW of power for a four-hour duration.
