Due to the increased daily electricity price variations caused by the peak and off-peak demands, energy storage systems can be utilized to generate arbitrage by charging the plants during low price periods and discharging them during high price periods.
The present arbitrage strategy is designed for the given technology attributes (including round-trip efficiency) to store the off-peak energy when the electricity price is low and releases the energy when the price is high (during the peak demand period).
Based on the above arbitrage revenue and capacity costs, the potential selections of energy storage technologies can be analyzed in more detail for maximum profitability once breakeven costs are achieved via attainment of technology readiness and/or system cost reductions.
Price differences due to demand variations enable arbitrage by energy storage. Maximum daily revenue through arbitrage varies with roundtrip efficiency. Revenue of arbitrage is compared to cost of energy for various storage technologies. Breakeven cost of storage is firstly calculated with different loan periods.
The concept of price arbitrage for electrical energy of Fig. 1 is based on the hourly electricity price from the California Independent System Operator (CAISO), for a typical day where hour 0 is defined as midnight (Blanke, 2018).
The results indicate that the arbitrage characteristics and breakeven costs can be used to guide the choice of energy storage system development (capacity, effectiveness, and cost) and to determine the constraints and potential economic benefits for stakeholders who are considering investing in energy storage systems.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually.
