Energy transition investments; Cost–benefit analysis; Social discount rate; Environmental quality ; 1 Introduction. According to the International Energy Agency and International Renewable Energy Agency, approximately two thirds of global greenhouse gas emissions can be attributed to the production and use of energy from fossil fuels. The reduction of carbon …
Sources such as solar and wind energy are intermittent, and this is seen as a barrier to their wide utilization. The increasing grid integration of intermittent renewable energy sources generation significantly changes the scenario of distribution grid operations. Such operational challenges are minimized by the incorporation of the energy storage system, …
GIES is a novel and distinctive class of integrated energy systems, composed of a generator and an energy storage system. GIES "stores energy at some point along with the transformation between the primary energy form and electricity" [3, p. 544], and the objective is to make storing several MWh economically viable [3].GIES technologies are non-electrochemical …
discount rate of investment in energy projects. The prospects of future carbon pricing will increase the risk for certain generation investors, which need to be considered in their discount rates. The introduction of new renewables (solar and wind) produced new challenges that …
Although these trusts are fairly new, they have benefited from a substantial discount rate applied to the valuation of new plants which has tended to move upwards once they are operating. Gresham House Energy Storage''s NAV has risen 13 per cent over the past year and Gore Street Energy Storage''s has risen 12 per cent.
6 | P a g e • End-of-life cost: The cost or value of the technology at its end-of-life. • Discount rate (r): This is used to discount future replacement, operating and end- of-life cost, as well as electricity generation, because it represents future revenues. • Depth-of-discharge (DoD): Amount of usable energy storage capacity. • Round-trip efficiency (η
In the energy sector, lower discount rates tend to increase the attractiveness of renewable energy projects, which have higher capital costs and lower operating costs. In turn, higher discount rates boost the attractiveness of fossil fuel projects, which boast lower capital costs but higher operating costs. Fuel cost Fuel expenditures are only considered for power …

Table ES-1. Summary of AEC recommendations AEC Battery Benefit-Cost Analysis Recommendations
In the study, the impact of system size is not modelled, therefore the economies-of-scale benefits are not considered. This implies that the rate of increase in total investment cost is the same as the rate of increase in the rated power (MW) of the storage plant. Fig. 5 shows the range of the LCOS for the ES technologies used in PR.

A risky investment uses a higher discount rate. Almost all the costs of a pumped hydro system are up front, similar to a solar or wind power station, but unlike a gas power station where most of the costs are for fuel. A typical real (after subtracting inflation) discount rate for a low-risk investment is 5%. Pumped hydro, solar and wind energy ...
