Abstract
Energy arbitrage is attracting interest of Energy Storage Systems developers and owners to provide net revenue in transmission and distribution systems. We have analyzed the potential revenue of a generic Energy Storage System (ESS) within the electricity market of PJM in 8 deferent locations where such technology is already installed. We used hourly Day-Ahead and Real-time locational marginal prices over the seven-year period 2008–2014, assuming a price-taking dispatch with perfect foresight. The charge-discharge profiles were optimized to determine The minimum potential revenue for 1 MW system for 70% round trip efficiency in those 8 locations. We performed a sensitivity analysis to verify the dependence on rated discharge duration and its variation over the years. We determined the breakeven overnight installed cost below which energy arbitrage would be profitable.
