Inputs:
A small-size solar park in Latvia with PV capacity 300kW. Current tariffs do not allow to survive. Midday-Evening spread up to 200 EUR, Night-Morning spread up to 100 EUR (NordPool statistics)
Direct solution:
Installation of 0,4 MW Energy Storage with effective capacity 0,3 MW will allow to charge battery during 3-4 hours in daylight time and release accumulated power to the grid in evening peak hours. Same operation to be repeated overnight, charging from the grid and releasing in the morning. Daily saving can reach 100 EUR
Recommended solution:
Installation of 1 MW Energy Storage with effective capacity 0,8 MW will allow to charge battery during 4-6 hours in daylight time (partially charging from the Grid in winter time) and release power to the grid in evening peak hour. Same operation to be repeated overnight, charging from the grid and releasing in the morning. Daily saving can reach 250 EUR
