The revenue of wind-storage system is composed of wind generation revenue, energy storage income and its cost. With the TOU price, the revenue of the wind-storage system is determined by the total generated electricity and energy storage performance.
The annual revenue of the wind-storage coupled system is 12.78 million dollars which is the income of wind generation only sold to the grid or customer. With the decrease of energy storage plant cost and the increase of lifetime, the best storage capacity and the corresponding annual income of wind-storage coupled system increase.
The optimal storage capacity is 38MWh when the charging and discharging efficiencies are 95%, the energy storage cost is 150 $/kWh. The total annual income is calculated as 13.23 million US dollars from the wind-storage coupled system.
When the energy storage system lifetime is of 10 years, and the cost is equal to or more than 375 $/kWh, the optimization configuration capacity is 0 MWh, which means no energy storage installation. The annual revenue of the simulated wind-storage system is 12.78 million dollars, which is purely from the sale of wind generation.
