Identify a list of publicly available DOE tools that can provide energy storage valuation insights for ESS use case stakeholders. Provide information on the capabilities and different options in each modeling tool.
For a more detailed discussion of energy storage modeling, valuation, and available tools, see the Energy Storage Valuation page. The analysis case studies are divided into categories below. You can search for keywords using the search bar in the top right of the table.
The DOE energy storage valuation tools are valuable for industry, regulators, and other stakeholders to model, optimize, and evaluate different ESSs in a variety of use cases. There are numerous similarities and differences among these tools.
While energy storage is already being deployed to support grids across major power markets, new McKinsey analysis suggests investors often underestimate the value of energy storage in their business cases.
Valuing energy storage is often a complex endeavor that must consider different polices, market structures, incentives, and value streams, which can vary significantly across locations. In addition, the economic benefits of an ESS highly depend on its operational characteristics and physical capabilities.
Evaluating potential revenue streams from flexible assets, such as energy storage systems, is not simple. Investors need to consider the various value pools available to a storage asset, including wholesale, grid services, and capacity markets, as well as the inherent volatility of the prices of each (see sidebar, “Glossary”).
