Where a profitable application of energy storage requires saving of costs or deferral of investments, direct mechanisms, such as subsidies and rebates, will be effective. For applications dependent on price arbitrage, the existence and access to variable market prices are essential.
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).
Although ESS bring a diverse range of benefits to utilities and customers, realizing the wide-scale adoption of energy storage necessitates evaluating the costs and benefits of ESS in a comprehensive and systematic manner. Such an evaluation is especially important for emerging energy storage technologies such as BESS.
We also find that certain combinations appear to have approached a tipping point towards profitability. Yet, this conclusion only holds for combinations examined most recently or stacking several business models. Many technologically feasible combinations have been neglected, profitability of energy storage.
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).
