In this context, storage costs compete with the price of electricity for end consumers, and if they are less than the final electricity prices (with all fees and taxes considered but not including the fixed costs), then the costs of storage demonstrate a positive economic performance.
The major result is that the perspectives of electricity storage systems from an economic viewpoint are highly dependent on the storage's operation time, the nature of the overall system, availability of other flexibility options, and sector coupling.
Accordingly, the European Commission has recognized electricity storage 1 as one of the strategic energy technologies in SET-Plan in achieving the EU׳s energy targets by 2020 and 2050 .
Operation and cost of electricity purchase have a high influence on storage cost. The ratio of charging/discharging unit power and storage capacity is important. PSH and CAES are low-cost technologies for short-term energy storage. PtG technologies will be more cost efficient for long-term energy storage.
Energy related costs include all the costs undertaken to build energy storage banks or reservoirs, expressed per unit of stored or delivered energy (€/kWh). In this manner, cost of PCS and storage device are decoupled to estimate the contribution of each part more explicitly in TCC calculations.
This new setting has imposed technical, economic, and environmental challenges for secure supply of electricity. Energy storage is deemed as one of the solutions for stabilizing the supply of electricity to avert uneconomical power production and high prices in peak times.
