ENERGY STORAGE (Convenience/Backup)

• Energy backup without a generator• Up to several days of essentials• Use solar or grid to recharge

• Energy backup with a generator• Up to partial day of full load• No need to run generator 24/7• Use solar or generator to recharge

• Rural properties - Off-grid • No Utility Service• Use solar or generator to recharge

SOLAR VALUATION (Economics of cost savings)

• Time interval data – Energy Load Profile

• Battery charge – discharge data

• Utility Tariff $/kWh

• Tiers, TOU, Fixed Rate

• Incentivized behavior

ENERGY STORAGE (Cost Savings/Income Approach)

• Time of use (TOU)• Have 2 time based tariffs• Off Peak T1 $0.23• Off Peak T2 $0.32• Peak T1 $0.31• Peak T2 $0.39• Summer & Winter are different

• Peak shaving during TOU• Have 2 tiers• Consume kWh in Peak higher tier (T2)• Offset that consumption with storage• Set to discharge from 3PM – 8PM• Save at the higher rate

• Use software, look back, look aheadhttps://www.pge.com/en_US/residential/rate-plans/rate-plan-options/time-of-use-base-plan/time-of-use-plan.page



ENERGY STORAGE (Utility Requirement for new Solar)

• Solar with storage $0.35/kWh

• Self-consumption of solar

• No export of solar to grid allowed

• Grid is saturated during day

• Excess solar energy stored for later use

• See in most utility regions of Hawaii

ENERGY STORAGE (Other reasons/things to consider)

• Energy storage may have neg cost/benefit

• Res Generators typ have neg cost/benefit

• Gen fuel tank not allowed/no space for gen

• Environmental - fuel vs battery chemicals

• Homeowner already purchased the car now they want the battery

?



ENERGY STORAGE (Battery Chemistry)

• Lithium-ion Li-On• Last up to 20 years• High cycle life• High cost – Energy Management / Backup

• Lead-Acid (AGM, Gel)• Last up to 10 years• Low cycle life• Low cost – Backup / Off-grid

• Nickel-iron Ni-Fe• Last up to 30 years• High cycle life• High cost – Off-grid

ENERGY STORAGE (Different Ways to Store)

• Electric Vehicle for on demand storage• Recharge at work during day• Discharge at home 3PM – 8PM• Recharge starting at 9PM• May improve cost/benefit for EV

• Utility Financed Energy Storage• Tesla Powerwall2 (13.5kWh max/8-12 hrs)• Green Mountain Power in Vermont• Pay $15/mo lease• Can’t get out of lease contract/10yr?• Prepay for $1,500 fee• + cost/benefit after 8.4 yrs• Utility can trigger discharge into grid• Homeowner can use for backup• Normal cost $7,000- $7,500ProgramInformation:http://products.greenmountainpower.com/powerwall/
