Animation displays technologies with lowest LCOS relative discharge duration and annual cycle requirements for 9 electricity storage technologies by month from 2015 to 2030.
Circled numbers represent the requirements of 12 distinct applications introduced in Table 1 of the corresponding publication: 1 - Energy Arbitrage, 2 - Primary Response, 3 - Secondary Response, 4 - Tertiary Response, 5 - Peaker Replacement, 6 - Black Start, 7 - Seasonal Storage, 8 - T&D Investment Deferral, 9 - Congestion Management, 10 - Bill Management, 11 - Power Quality, 12 - Power Reliability.
Colours represent technologies with lowest LCOS. Shading indicates how much higher the LCOS of the second most cost-efficient technology is; meaning lighter areas are contested between at least two technologies, while darker areas indicate a strong cost advantage of the prevalent technology. White spaces mean LCOS of at least two technologies differ by less than 5%.
The modelled electricity price is 50 US$/MWh.
