Although academic analysis finds that business models for energy storage are largely unprofitable, annual deployment of storage capacity is globally on the rise (IEA, 2020). One reason may be generous subsidy support and non-financial drivers like a first-mover advantage (Wood Mackenzie, 2019).
Although electricity storage technologies could provide useful flexibility to modern power systems with substantial shares of power generation from intermittent renewables, investment opportunities and their profitability have remained ambiguous.
Building upon both strands of work, we propose to characterize business models of energy storage as the combination of an application of storage with the revenue stream earned from the operation and the market role of the investor.
In this model, the equivalent profit of energy storage in the configuration stage is calculated based on the expected profit in the operation stage. Meanwhile, the expected profit in the operation stage also depends on the optimization of energy storage capacity configuration in the configuration stage.
It is crucial to integrate energy storage devices within wind power and photovoltaic (PV) stations to effectively manage the impact of large-scale renewable energy generation on power balance and grid reliability. However, existing studies have not modelled the complex coupling between different types of power sources within a station.
Where a profitable application of energy storage requires saving of costs or deferral of investments, direct mechanisms, such as subsidies and rebates, will be effective. For applications dependent on price arbitrage, the existence and access to variable market prices are essential.
