The impact of capacity compensation mechanism on energy storage

6 FAQs about The impact of capacity compensation mechanism on energy storage

Should capacity remuneration mechanisms account for the value of electricity storage?

Capacity mechanisms should account for the capacity value of electricity storage. In electricity markets around the world, the substantial increase of intermittent renewable electricity generation has intensified concerns about generation adequacy, ultimately driving the implementation of capacity remuneration mechanisms.

How does a capacity mechanism affect power generation adequacy?

Specification of a capacity mechanism affects technology mix and generation adequacy. Call options with a strike price increase the competitiveness of electricity storage. Low storage capacity credits create a strong bias towards conventional power plants. Capacity mechanisms should account for the capacity value of electricity storage.

How does a capacity mechanism affect electricity storage?

Barriers exist for electricity storage to participate in some capacity mechanisms. Specification of a capacity mechanism affects technology mix and generation adequacy. Call options with a strike price increase the competitiveness of electricity storage. Low storage capacity credits create a strong bias towards conventional power plants.

How does capacity remuneration affect storage investments?

The additional capacity remuneration then leads to more storage investments as compared to an EOM. This effect is particularly important in countries with high capacity needs in the medium-term (2030–2040), where storage technologies are still rather expensive to build. 4.4.3.

Are capacity remuneration mechanisms technology-neutral?

Although formally technology-neutral, substantial barriers often exist in these mechanisms for non-conventional capacity such as electricity storage. In this article, we provide a rigorous theoretical discussion on design parameters and show that the concrete design of a capacity remuneration mechanism always creates a bias towards one technology

How do energy storage operators make decisions?

Energy storage operators act as followers, making decisions regarding storage capacity and operational strategies based on the tariffs set by the grid. Their decision-making process incorporates historical capacity tariffs, operating costs, expected returns, and market dynamics.
