Batteries will play a key role in modernizing the energy grid, as they will allow greater penetration of renewable energy sources and enable applications that better meet supply and demand.
Applying storage technology is a business decision that requires accurate estimation of potential revenue to determine economic viability, which requires consideration of market rules and prices and models of batteries and applications
Specific constraints.
Here we use the storage model that is connected to the California energy grid and show the application-
Work cycle under jurisdiction (power profiles)
Different applications affect different battery chemistry.
We reveal the key trade.
The trade-off between battery chemistry and the applicability of the energy content in the battery shows that accurate income measurement can only be achieved when considering the actual battery operation in each application.
The discovery of this work may require a paradigm shift in how to assess the real economic value of energy storage devices.
