Abstract

This presentation:

  • Evaluated the potential battery storage size and cost for WEC (driven by the peak power)
  • Performed a preliminary grid integration analysis using PLEXOS
  • Required some kind of energy storage and power smoothing

Future work includes:

  • Cost estimation of undersea cables and subsea stations, control strategies, and the potential and cost of using other energy storage technologies
  • Detailed analysis on the impact to the grid system and larger wave energy penetration cases
