Taking advantages of the knowledge established in the academic literature and the expertise from the field, there are efforts from multiple parties (e.g., national laboratories, utilities, and system integrators) in developing software tools that can be used for valuing energy storage.
IEEE Access. 2018;6:13231–60. The paper presents a comprehensive review of the applications of energy storage as well as the optimization methods used in evaluating energy storage technical and economic benefits. Many of the software tools for energy storage valuation and design are based on the optimization methods reviewed in this paper.
For energy storage applications focused on improving the dynamic performance of the grid, an electromechanical dynamic simulation tool is required to properly size and locate the energy storage so that it meets the desired technical performance specifications.
The tools below are used globally for energy storage analysis and development. System Advisory Model (SAM) SAM is a techno-economic computer model that calculates performance and financial metrics of renewable energy projects, including performance models for photovoltaic (PV) with optional electric battery storage.
net positive benefit that meets the return on investment criteria, no further analysis is required. Therefore, as the application space for ESSs grows, energy storage valuation is of a particular interest of many energy storage stake holders (e.g., ESS owners, system operators, regulators, and researchers).
While all deployment decisions ultimately come down to some sort of benefit to cost analysis, different tools and algorithms are used to size and place energy storage in the grid depending on the application and storage operating characteristics (e.g., round-trip efficiency, life cycle).
Energy Storage Optimization Tools
Both tools use open source software that is easy to install and operate. Both identify cost-effective solutions before businesses and utilities invest in energy storage systems. The Optimal Sizing Tool is the only model of its kind to optimize the power and energy capacities of battery storage for behind-the-meter applications.
