Techno-Economic Assessment of Energy Storage Systems for Grid-Tied Solar Installations in Industrial Zones: A United States Perspective
Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive techno-economic assessment of energy storage systems (ESS) for grid-tied solar photovoltaic (PV) installations in industrial zones across the United States. The study evaluates lithium-ion batteries, flow batteries, sodium-sulfur batteries, and compressed air energy storage (CAES) based on cost-effectiveness, reliability, performance characteristics, and grid stability impacts. Using data from 2022-2024 installations, we analyze capital expenditure, operational expenditure, round-trip efficiency, cycle life, and response time to determine optimal storage solutions for different industrial load profiles. Results indicate that while lithium-ion batteries dominate current deployments due to decreasing costs and high efficiency, vanadium flow batteries offer compelling advantages for long-duration storage needs in high-energy industrial applications despite higher upfront costs. The findings provide a decision-making framework for industrial stakeholders considering solar-plus-storage systems under current U.S. regulatory and incentive structures, particularly in light of the Inflation Reduction Act provisions.
