Or as S&C Electric’s David Chiesa puts it: “If you’ve seen one microgrid …you’ve seen one microgrid.” So there is no quick and simple price to give a prospective customer. Sources we’ve interviewed cite project proposals as low as $250,000 to as high as $100 million. Generation typically accounts for most of the cost.
True, larger microgrids will likely be more expensive than smaller microgrids — but in gross terms, not necessarily on a per kilowatt basis. In fact, generation for a very small microgrid tends to cost more per kilowatt than a comparable larger version. For example, a 50-kW solar array is more expensive per kilowatt than 1-MW solar array.
The battery achieves significant revenue from the frequency regulation market. The breakdown of wholesale revenue is about 60% from frequency regulation, 39% from energy, and less than 1% from spinning reserve. The demand response revenue is reduced compared to the diesel-only microgrid because of the reduced EDGs.
Grid-scale battery costs can be measured in $/kW or $/kWh terms. Thinking in kW terms is more helpful for modelling grid resiliency. A good rule of thumb is that grid-scale lithium ion batteries will have 4-hours of storage duration, as this minimizes per kW costs and maximizes the revenue potential from power price arbitrage.
For all scenarios discussed in this paper, the load and PV power inputs are eighteen days of actual 1-min resolution data from an existing microgrid system on an island in Southeast Asia, though any load profile can be used in ESM. The load has an average power of 81 kW, a maximum of 160 kW, and a minimum of 41 kW.
The California site has the largest sizing of PV and battery due to significant value from retail bill savings, demand response, and wholesale markets. The value achieved by the addition of PV and battery is large enough to offset the added cost of the microgrid, and this is the only site to have a positive net present value.
