Power generation side energy storage plays a critical role in enhancing grid stability, 2. It accommodates the variability of renewable energy sources, 3. . Power from these “peaking plants,” which run less than 15% of the year, comes at a much higher cost than electricity generated by baseload power plants that usually run over 90% of the time. In addition to driving up electricity costs, peaker plants require significant time and money to build. . Abstract—This work seeks to quantify the benefits of using energy storage toward the reduction of the energy generation cost of a power system. Economics, public policies, and market rules all play a role in shaping the landscape for storage development.
