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
