profitability of energy storage. eagerly requests technologies providing flexibility. Energy storage can provide such flexibility and is attract ing increasing attention in terms of growing deployment and policy support. Profitability profitability of individual opportunities are contradicting. models for investment in energy storage.
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.
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).
It is alo important to identify the aspects that influence the relevance of the results, including macroeconomic factors such as inflation trends, government regulation of the energy market, and future fiscal and monetary policies of individual countries. Currently, energy storage systems pose a challenge for researchers in developed countries.
Others have reviewed the range of potential applications of storage technologies, that is, the services that storage facilities can perform in power systems (Koohi-Kamali et al., 2013; Kousksou et al., 2014; Palizban and Kauhaniemi, 2016).
The most examined technologies are again CAES (27 profitability estimates), batteries (25), and pumped hydro (10). Recent deployments of storage capacity confirm the trend for improved investment conditions (U.S. Department of Energy, 2020).
The profitability of energy storage in European electricity markets
In this work, we study the profitability of energy storage operated in the Nordic, German, and UK electricity day-ahead markets during 2006-2016. We build a linear optimization model which maximizes profits from arbitraging hourly prices and use the model output of profits and storage cycles in further econometric analyses.
