Abstract

The role of energy storage as a means to support power systems in the light of increasing penetration of renewable energy sources is already recognized. A large number of scientific studies highlight the potential benefits, while transmission and distribution system operators actively engage in numerous pilot projects. However, independent investors might be reluctant to invest in energy storage, mainly due to factors such as the high investment cost, the relatively limited service life of storage technologies and the absence of clear business cases within the current regulatory framework. In this paper, arbitrage between the day-ahead and the imbalance markets is investigated to identify a potential business opportunity for a hydrogen bromine redox flow battery. Based on an actual commercial solution, the analysis for the Dutch electricity market reveals the potential for a positive business case under certain assumptions.
