In the case of BESS assets this irrational constraint on revenue models is even more perplexing. Whereas a renewable power generator''s revenue is tied to the market price of power in a one-to-one relationship, BESS revenue is a complex function of power prices, but it is not a one-to-one relationship. BESS revenues are driven by the shape of those power prices
Considering an archetype BESS Asset in Arizona . As an illustration, we consider a 55MW facility with a battery sized at equal pairing (55MWh or longer based on duration). We illustrate the value of adding a battery at various durations (1,2,4 hours). The choice of the hubs was not driven by market size but by the ease of explainability for
