In this article, we explore three business models for commercial and industrial energy storage: owner-owned investment, energy management contracts, and financial leasing.
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.
The lessons from twelve case studies on energy storage business models give a glimpse of the future and show what players can do today. The advent of new energy storage business models will affect all players in the energy value chain. In this publication we offer some recommendations.
Also, the existing widely-used method in energy storage planning, that embeds the system frequency response model into the optimization model to deal with inertia shortage demand, is unfeasible to be directly used in the CES business model due to the data confidentiality problem.
The factors that influence the business model include peak–valley price difference, frequency modulation ratio of the market, as well as the investment cost of energy storage, so this paper will discuss from the following perspectives.
Based on this evaluation results, a bi-layer optimal energy storage planning model for the CES operator is established, where the upper-layer model determines the installed capacity of lithium (Li-ion) battery station and the lower-layer model determines the optimal schedules of the CES system.
Figure 1 depicts 28 distinct business models for energy storage technologies that we identify based on the combination of the three parameters described above. Each business model, represented by a box in Fig- ure 1, applies storage to solve a particular problem and to generate a distinct revenue stream for a specific market role.
In this article, we explore three business models for commercial and industrial energy storage: owner-owned investment, energy management contracts, and financial leasing.
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.
We propose to characterize a “business model” for storage by three parameters: the application of a storage facility, the market role of a potential investor, and the revenue stream obtained from its operation (Massa et al., 2017).
The factors that influence the business model include peak–valley price difference, frequency modulation ratio of the market, as well as the investment cost of energy storage, so this paper will discuss from the following perspectives.
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).
In anticipation of a bright future, the first projects with energy storage are being set up. We have analyzed some of these cases and clustered them according to their po-sition in the energy value chain and the type of revenues associated with the business model.
Energy storage has the potential to disrupt business models. Energy storage has been around for a long time. Ales-sandro Volta invented the battery in 1800. Even earlier, in 1749, Benjamin Franklin had conducted the first ex-periments. And the first pumped hydro storage facili-ties (PHS) were built in Italy and Switzerland in 1890.
