Get a quoteWhile the PV + BESS system demonstrates profitability compared to the load-only system, none of the buildings exhibit economic feasibility for the PV + BESS system in comparison to the PV-only system, utilizing the BESS control strategy employed in this study combined with current costs.
Using Thailand's Time-of-Use (TOU) tariff structure and peak shaving framework, system sizing, design, and performance were analyzed through Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) metrics. The findings reveal that the current high cost of BESS remains the primary obstacle to the widespread adoption of PV + BESS systems.
The study indicates that the highest BEC PV of BESS required for BESS integration to be profitable is 237 USD/kWh, while the average BEC PV hovers around 200 USD/kWh. Based on the current BESS cost of $250–400 USD/kWh, the PV + BESS is still not economically viable.
Sensitivity analyses exploring the influence of technical and economic factors on the break-even cost of PV + BESS systems. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are crucial for enhancing energy efficiency and reliability in behind-the-meter (BTM) applications across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.
Through an analysis of the break-even cost trend of BESS when integrates with PV systems, and an examination of various factors including PV size, BESS capacity, BESS degradation, and load profiles, several key insights are identified.
Impact of PV Size: The profitability of PV-only systems and the break-even cost of BESS are significantly influenced by the size of the PV installation. While increasing PV size generally increase opportunities for BESS integration, the degree of economic advantage varies depending on the building type.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 350% in the past three years. Energy storage cabinets and lithium battery solutions now account for approximately 40% of all new commercial energy installations worldwide. North America leads with a 38% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 25-30%.
