Abstract
Renewable energies are good sources to provide electricity for residential applications. The geographical location of Morocco allows to have significant potential to produce electricity throughout the year using solar and wind energy sources. Such potential can help the country to decrease its fossil reliance. However, the intermittent nature of wind and photovoltaic energies can diminish their real efficiency and rises a plenty of challenges for their use. Therefore, appropriate energy storage technology is necessary for Energy Storage Systems (ESS) to compensate and equilibrate the difference between the energy generation and consumption. Battery is the most popular energy storage regarding to hydrogen storage that is a promising technology with zero gas emission. This study focuses on the economic performance between hydrogen storage, battery storage and their hybrid storage. For this purpose, three power storage models have been designed using HOMER PRO software. Moreover, a comparison of the economic impact of the proposed models is provided. As a result, the hybrid storage has been identified as the best solution with a COE of 0.577 $/kWh.
