Energy Storage

We have extensive experience in energy storage options covering grid, behind the meter, and community batteries

How we model Energy Storage

The following are the key considerations in energy storage analysis

Arbitrage

Low price charge, high price discharge

5-minute Settlement

Arbitrage under 5-minute settlement

Ancillary Services

Frequency Control, Network Support, Black Start

Demand Reduction

Reduce peak network demand by scheduled dispatch

Capacity Degradation

Modelling degradation by energy throughput and/or time

C-rating

Charge/discharge rate

Renewable Energy Charging

Compare grid vs on-site charging

Connection Point Constraints

Connection point constraints limiting exports

Round Trip Efficiency

Energy losses in storage technology

Past Engagements

Community Battery

Apogee Energy was engaged to develop the initial business model and explore the economics for Ausgrid’s community battery program.
