V S represents variable costs associated with the energy storage system, which mainly include charging costs in the context of electrical power system energy storage technologies. It is assumed that charging costs constitute the majority of variable costs in power system energy storage technology. Pch refers to the electricity price for charging.
However, there is growing interest in the deployment of energy storage with greater than 4 hours of capacity, which has been identified as potentially playing an important role in helping integrate larger amounts of renewable energy and achieving heavily decarbonized grids.1,2,3
Figure 4. In locations with a 4-hour capacity rule, a 4-hour storage device captures well over 80% of the total capacity plus energy time-shifting value that could be captured by a much longer device (top). The incremental value of adding additional duration (bottom) is less than the annualized cost of current Li-ion battery capacity.
value for a fifth hour of storage (using historical market data) is less than most estimates for the annualized cost of adding Li-ion battery capacity, at least at current costs.25 As a result, moving beyond 4-hour Li-ion will likely require a change in both the value proposition and storage costs, discussed in the following sections.
