Abstract
This paper investigates portfolios of research and development projects as applied to energy storage devices. First, the paper discusses how energy storage is well suited for such portfolio analysis. The paper then focuses on a general discussion of cost-benefit analysis of R&D projects, paying particular attention to technical success. The conditions for which a portfolio of projects is justified are discussed. Next the particular application of portfolios of projects to energy storage is discussed in greater detail. The paper then presents an example of developing a portfolio of energy storage with particular focus on peak and off-peak electricity markets. Finally, the paper concludes that portfolios of R&D projects are appropriate for energy storage devices.
