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).
Business Models for Energy Storage Rows display market roles, columns reflect types of revenue streams, and boxes specify the business model around an application. Each of the three parameters is useful to systematically differentiate investment opportunities for energy storage in terms of applicable business models.
Investor-owned utilities, electric cooperatives, municipally owned utilities, public power utilities, independent system operators, and regional transmission organizations participate to gain access to leading practices that can help improve communication to reduce “soft costs” in integrating energy storage projects.
There are many things that must be considered to successfully deploy an energy storage system. These include: Storage Technology Implications Balance-of-Plant Grid integration Communications and Control Storage Installation The following sections are excerpts from the ESIC Energy Storage Implementation Guide which is free to the public.
Project Specific Requirements: Elements for developing energy storage specific project requirements include ownership of the storage asset, energy storage system (ESS) performance, communication and control system requirements, site requirements and availability, local constraints, and safety requirements.
The literature on energy storage frequently includes “renewable integration” or “generation firming” as applications for storage (Eyer and Corey, 2010; Zafirakis et al., 2013; Pellow et al., 2020).
