In this post, we explain how accurate price forecasts can increase revenue for utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS). To do so, we simulate historical revenue from for a hypothetical 100 MW / 400 MWh BESS under different dispatch schedules, using data from the California ISO (CAISO), queried through our partner Yes Energy.
The code is written in Python. A photovoltaic and storage (battery) system is consider as a means to cover the needs of an end user. The model contains the logic to dispatch the energy based on given conditions and rules for the following energy flow chart: The energy flows names correspond to the variable names estimated by the model.
In order to maximize their expected profit while respecting the physical constraints of their asset (like maximum capacity and charge/discharge rate) and market rules, battery operators contend with a host of interrelated decisions across multiple time periods and markets. Additional complexities arise as well.
Government incentives and subsidies play a significant role in the economics of battery storage. In the United States, the investment tax credit (ITC), which offers a tax credit for solar energy systems, has been extended to include battery storage when installed in conjunction with solar panels.
Different countries have various schemes, like feed-in tariffs or grants, which can significantly impact the financial viability of battery storage projects. Market trends indicate a continuing decrease in the cost of battery storage, making it an increasingly viable option for both grid and off-grid applications.
The cost of battery storage systems has been declining significantly over the past decade. By the beginning of 2023 the price of lithium-ion batteries, which are widely used in energy storage, had fallen by about 89% since 2010.
