Abstract

The first sensitivity analysis of hydro-pneumatic levelized cost of electricity storage for a set of twelve power system applications, ranging from primary response to seasonal storage, is done, using as parameters the specific power and energy investment costs and round-trip efficiency. The electric-to-electric round-trip efficiency for hydro-pneumatic energy storage systems is discussed, using a lab-scale hydro-pneumatic energy storage system that was built using commercially available bladder hydraulic accumulators. In general, the results show that hydro-pneumatic energy storage can be very competitive whenever the number of annual cycles is sufficiently high, as happens in the case of primary response application but, even for applications with a low number of annual cycles, it can be competitive for applications with a high ratio power/capacity. A comparison with the dominant technologies, pumped hydro and Li-Ion, shows that, for the highest hydro-pneumatic energy storage investment costs considered, this technology will only be competitive for primary response, but, for the lowest investment costs considered, hydro-pneumatic energy storage is more cost-effective than Li-Ion for all applications, and can even be more cost-effective than pumped hydro in four of the twelve applications. The main challenges to the development of hydro-pneumatic energy storage systems are discussed.
