How do business models of energy storage work?
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.
Is energy storage a profitable business model?
Although academic analysis finds that business models for energy storage are largely unprofitable, annual deployment of storage capacity is globally on the rise (IEA, ). One reason may be generous subsidy support and non-financial drivers like a first-mover advantage (Wood Mackenzie, ).
How many business models are there for energy storage technologies?
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.
Are business models for energy storage unprofitable or ambiguous?
The main finding is that examined business models for energy storage given in the set of technologies are largely found to be unprofitable or ambiguous.
How do I evaluate potential revenue streams from energy storage assets?
Evaluating potential revenue streams from flexible assets, such as energy storage systems, is not simple. Investors need to consider the various value pools available to a storage asset, including wholesale, grid services, and capacity markets, as well as the inherent volatility of the prices of each (see sidebar, “Glossary”).
What is a energy storage revenue stream?
The revenue stream describes the type of income a storage facility can generate from its operation. Table 1 provides a list and description of eight distinct applications derived from previous reviews on potential applications for energy storage (Castillo and Gayme, ; Kousksou et al., ; Palizban and Kauhaniemi, ).
