Our goal is to give an overview of the profitability of business models for energy storage, showing which business model performed by a certain technology has been examined and identified as rather profitable or unprofitable. We refrain from attempting to compare specific investments, which depend on regionally distinct economic, operational ...
profitability of energy storage. eagerly requests technologies providing flexibility. Energy storage can provide such flexibility and is attract ing increasing attention in terms of growing deployment and policy support. Profitability profitability of individual opportunities are contradicting. models for investment in energy storage.
The model found that one company’s products were more economic than the other’s in 86 percent of the sites because of the product’s ability to charge and discharge more quickly, with an average increased profitability of almost $25 per kilowatt-hour of energy storage installed per year.
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).
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.
The model shows that it is already profitable to provide energy-storage solutions to a subset of commercial customers in each of the four most important applications—demand-charge management, grid-scale renewable power, small-scale solar-plus storage, and frequency regulation.
Investment in energy storage can enable them to meet the contracted amount of electricity more accurately and avoid penalties charged for deviations. Revenue streams are decisive to distinguish business models when one application applies to the same market role multiple times.

This paper illustrates the potential revenue of a generic energy storage system with 70% round trip efficiency and 1–14 h energy/power ratio, considering a price-taking dispatch. The breakeven overnight installed cost is also calculated to provide the cost below which energy arbitrage would have been profitable for a flow battery.
Large-scale energy storage technology is crucial to maintaining a high-proportion renewable energy power system stability and addressing the energy crisis and environmental problems. Solid gravity energy storage technology (SGES) is a promising mechanical energy storage technology suitable for large-scale applications. However, no systematic ...
