Effect of emerging rechargeable battery technology on stand-alone power sources

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7093157
;
The objective of this paper is to exhibit the sensitivity of life cycle costs of stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy-conversion systems (WECS) as conceptually equipped with alternative rechargeable battery technologies over the capacity range of 1.5 kW to 5000 kW. The time frame of this assessment is 1990. The battery technologies are: (1) advanced lead-acid; (2) zinc-chloride; (3) sodium-sulfur; and (4) iron-chromium redox. PV and WECS life-cycle costs as a function of storage battery type are compared to the life-cycle costs of a diesel generator set.
