This study explores and quantifies the social costs and benefits of grid-scale electrical energy storage (EES) projects in Great Britain. The case study for this paper is the
Mandates for energy storage coupled with incentives and the high-profile introduction of batteries for behind-the-meter storage applications have led to an increased need for tools and analysis
This report, supported by the U.S. Department of Energy''s Energy Storage Grand Challenge, summarizes current status and market projections for the global deployment of selected energy
These market dynamics serve as a motivation for this study to understand strategic investments in energy storage under competition, taking into account storage impact on the market price. Our work uses energy arbitrage as a test case with the intent to explore additional services in the future.
For those who decide to invest, limited and declining revenue prospects could lead to competing strategies of energy storage investment and operation, where investors opt for technologies with specific technical attributes in the competitive market.
Our work studies the strategic investment behavior among multiple energy storage investors in CAISO. These investors can choose to invest in heterogeneous storage technologies. At the beginning of an investment horizon, each investor decides the invested energy and power capacities.
Investors are allowed to deploy different energy storage technologies. Analytically, we show that an increasing number of investors will increase the market competition thereby reducing profits while increasing the total capacity of storage deployed.
When it comes to accounting for energy storage as a price-maker, some studies (e.g., , , , ) only consider the operation of the energy storage asset without accounting for the decision and cost of the storage energy- and power-capacity investment itself.
The storage investors’ decisions are coupled due to the market price π ω ( x). In this section, we will introduce a linear model for the price based on the aggregate storage operation of all the investors. Then, we use historical data from the CAISO day-ahead market to characterize such a linear price function. 3.1. Model of market price function
