Solar Photovoltaic System Cost Benchmarks
All costs reported are represented two ways: Minimum Sustainable Price (MSP) and Modeled Market Price (MMP).
Adding PV to distribution grids entails both costs and benefits. Costs may be incurred for distribution system upgrades when PV penetration reaches a level that causes deviations from acceptable operating conditions, such as voltages that are too high—requiring mitigation measures to ensure reliability, safety, and power quality.
Since the close relationship between the energy derived from the PV system and the navigation plans of ships including location, navigation routes and times, the techno-economic evaluation of the PV systems integrated into ship power grid is very important to ensure their proper application in ships.
The costs associated with integrating PV into bulk power and distribution systems are both commonly referred to as “grid integration” costs; however, in general, modeling the cost of each of these systems involves distinct challenges.
Owing to the intermittency of the output power from the PV system, , an ESS has to be employed in hybrid ship-PV grid-connected power system to regulate any excess or deficit power , . In general, an ESS consists of converters and energy storage devices, such as battery, SC etc.
