The value of energy storage in decarbonizing the electricity sector
Fig. 3 reports the optimal portfolio of electricity generation under the increasingly stringent emissions limits as well as the average generation cost in the absence of energy storage. Average generation cost (AGC) is defined as the quotient between the total annual generation costs (TGC) and the total annual load: (1) AGC = TGC Θ · ∑ h = 1 …
