Energy storage project user-side profit model

We develop a real options model for firms’ investments in user-side energy storage. Firms face uncertainties from future profits and government subsidies. We calibrate the model using information from China’s pilot energy-storage project. To address this issue, this paper proposes a user-side shared energy storage pricing strategy based on Nash game. Firstly, an optimal operation model is established for …

Is energy storage a profitable business model?

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).

Is user-side energy storage a waste of resources?

However, the disorderly management mode of user-side energy storage not only causes a waste of resources, but also brings hidden dangers to the safe operation of the power grid, such as stability, scheduling and operation, power quality and other problems.

What is user-side energy storage?

1. Introduction User-side energy storage mainly refers to the application of electrochemical energy storage systems by industrial, commercial, residential, or independent powerplant customers (which in convenience we call "firms").

Do users participate in Energy Storage pricing?

Thirdly, research on the user-side is mainly limited to residential area users, while there is limited research on users who can configure energy storage devices themselves, such as industrial users, without considering the initiative of such users to participate in energy storage pricing.

How do energy storage operators make a profit?

Energy storage operators develop their own cloud dispatching platform, whose main profit F1 comes from the peak-valley spread revenue obtained from energy storage dispatching minus the daily operating expenses of the platform, the specific cost–benefit function is shown in Eq. ( 1 ).

How can energy storage be profitable?

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.
