Does energy storage deliver value to utility customers?

Energy storage (ES) can deliver value to utility customers by leveling building demand and reducing demand charges. With increasing distributed energy generation and greater building demand variability, utilities have raised demand charges and are even including them in residential electricity bills.

How much would a household pay for energy storage in January?

Applying a demand charge of $10/kW-month, which is on the high end of residential demand charges, this household would pay $56.40 in demand charge for the month of January. Energy storage devices could level this demand by charging during low demand hours and discharging during peak demand hours.

Does energy storage capacity affect distribution network?

Excessive capacity of energy storage system will lead to high investment, operation and maintenance costs, while too small capacity will not fully mitigate the impact of PV system on distribution network. Therefore, the configuration of energy storage capacity has become the focus of current research.

Can energy storage technologies reduce demand charges?

Demand charges are based on peak power, not energy, and therefore energy storage technologies have unique value potential for demand charge reduction since energy storage capital costs are a stronger function of energy stored than power delivered.

What is the impact of capacity configuration of energy storage system?

The capacity configuration of energy storage system has an important impact on the economy and security of PV system . Excessive capacity of energy storage system will lead to high investment, operation and maintenance costs, while too small capacity will not fully mitigate the impact of PV system on distribution network.

How much does energy storage cost?

According to the “Research Report on Household Energy Storage Industry” (2022), the life cycle of energy storage is 10 years, the unit capacity cost is 175 $/kWh, and the unit power cost is 56 $/kW. The installation cost of energy storage has been included in the initial investment.
