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
