However, compared to centralized PV, distributed systems often have a smaller scale, resulting in relatively higher installation costs. The disparities between distributed PV and centralized PV power generation primarily revolve around scale, installation location, and cost considerations.
Small-scale energy storage systems can be centrally coordinated to offer different services to the grid, such as balancing and peak shaving. This paper shows how centralized and distributed coordination of residential electricity storage could affect the savings of owners of battery energy storage and solar PV.
Distributed energy storage is a solution for increasing self-consumption of variable renewable energy such as solar and wind energy at the end user site. Small-scale energy storage systems can be centrally coordinated by "aggregation" to offer different services to the grid, such as operational flexibility and peak shaving.
On the other hand, distributed PV power generation focuses on installing PV systems at various sites, including residential, commercial, and industrial locations. These systems serve multiple purposes by generating electricity for on-site consumption as well as exporting excess power to the grid.
Distributed PV offers benefits such as flexibility in installation, easy maintenance, and the potential for enhanced energy independence. However, compared to centralized PV, distributed systems often have a smaller scale, resulting in relatively higher installation costs.
Centralized PV, as the name suggests, involves the construction of large-scale PV power stations in remote or non-residential areas, typically with a generating capacity exceeding tens of megawatts. These centralized systems offer significant advantages such as economies of scale and lower costs per unit of energy produced.
