A common metric to quantify the net energy returns of a given energy system is the energy return on investment (EROI), defined as the ratio of the energy delivered divided by the energy invested in the considered energy system 3.
The project investment in all the studied energy storage systems is demonstrated viable to both project sponsors and lenders since the IRRs of the project for all systems in their last year of operation are larger than the projected WACC and the IRR of equity in their maturity year are better than the return on equity. 5. Financial analysis
The sales generated by the project are referred to as revenue. The revenues for an energy storage system performing energy arbitrage service are the product of the agreed energy price with the net discharged power.
Financial and economic modeling are undertaken based on the data and assumptions presented in Table 1. Table 1. Project stakeholder interests in KPIs. To determine the economic feasibility of the energy storage project, the model outputs two types of KPIs: economic and financial KPIs.
The operation of the energy storage is constrained by its physical capabilities, charging and discharging power limits, and cycle and self-discharge efficiencies. As the BESS charges and discharges every hour due to its participation in different applications, its remaining capacity changes every hour.
Increasing uncertainty in the modern power grid due to the variability of renewable energy resources has led to the widespread deployment of energy storage systems (ESSs). ESSs are flexible devices with high ramp rates that can help in maintaining a balance between generation and demand in the face of such uncertainty.
