Profit model and market prospects of energy storage power stations

What factors affect the economic benefits of pumped storage power stations?

In addition, under the three development models, the three factors of capacity electricity price, capacity ratio covered by approved electricity price, and energy conversion efficiency also impact the economic benefits of pumped storage power stations. 1. Introduction

How can pumped storage power stations be fully independent?

In the model of “completely independent participation in the market”, the technical transformation of the pumped storage power station should be accelerated, the energy conversion efficiency of the power station should be reasonably improved, the power loss should be reduced, and the cost recovery of the power station should be promoted.

What are the development models of pumped storage power stations?

According to the different stages of the development of the power market, this paper puts forward the corresponding development models of pumped storage power stations, which are successively the “two-part price system” model, the “partial capacity fixed compensation” model, and the “completely independent market participation” model.

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.
