With solar capacity growing at 18% annually (Slovak Energy Agency, 2023), phase change materials (PCMs) have become crucial for storing excess energy. A typical PCES system now costs €120-€180/kWh in Slovakia - 30% cheaper than lithium-ion alternatives for thermal applications.
As of Q2 2024, energy storage battery costs in Valparaiso range between $400 to $1,200 per kWh, depending on technology and project scale. Lithium-ion systems dominate the market, accounting for 78% of installations according to Chile's National Energy Commission.
With the aim of diversification of energy storage in microgrid, in this study, a phase change material (PCM) based thermal energy storage (TES) are analyzed for its optimal integration into the microgrid energy management system.
With electricity demand projected to double by 2050 amid industrial growth in sectors like tech manufacturing, desalination, and data centers, C&I users are adopting behind-the-meter (BTM) storage to shave peak tariffs, enhance resilience against blackouts, and comply with stringent.
The development cost of a solar power generation facility with an energy storage system is falling and the power tariff for this facility is currently 2. 8 baht per kilowatt-hour, which is lower than the rate for electricity produced by gas-fired power plants, said Natee.
