The economics of energy storage systems is dependent on the services and markets that exist on the electrical grid. These value streams can vary by region, electrical system, and grid domain (i.e., transmission, distribution, customer-sited).
In general, energy storage systems can provide value to the energy system by reducing its total system cost; and reducing risk for any investment and operation. This paper discusses total system cost reduction in an idealised model without considering risks.
You have full access to this open access article From a macro-energy system perspective, an energy storage is valuable if it contributes to meeting system objectives, including increasing economic value, reliability and sustainability.
In most energy systems models, reliability and sustainability are forced by constraints, and if energy demand is exogenous, this leaves cost as the main metric for economic value. Traditional ways to improve storage technologies are to reduce their costs; however, the cheapest energy storage is not always the most valuable in energy systems.
An economic analysis of energy storage systems should clearly articulate what components are included in the scope of cost. The major components of an energy storage system are batteries, power conversion system, transformer, switchgear, and monitoring and control. The schematic below shows these components.
Regardless of the low or high LCOS indication, the ‘variable EP scenario’ shows that all included energy storage technologies are valuable. As noted earlier, we define a technology as valuable if it reduces the total system costs. This is the case if a technology is part of an optimised energy system.
