⚡ Romania''s Electricity Market: The Green Surge and Dynamic Future Romania''s electricity market is undergoing a powerful transformation. From ramping up renewable energy to
As the price for every kWh injected into the network and battery energy storage system (BESS) costs are dynamic, the household and industrial consumers who want to integrate a battery in their PV system may have difficulties choosing between the commercially batteries available on the Romanian market.
This study investigated the feasibility of energy storage technologies that are commercially available on the Romanian market by using the levelized cost of storage (LCOS) method. The proposed approach also considers subsidies and different battery energy storage system’ (BESS) technical parameters.
Profitability evaluation for 5 types of battery technologies in Romania. BESSs costs were obtained from Romanian market analysis. LCB technologies are the most feasible from the examined BESSs. A sensitivity analysis with respect to cost parameters is presented. The variation of capital expenditure has the highest influence on LCOS values.
To be considered profitable, the LCOS of the battery must be less or equal to electricity unit price paid by the customer. The electricity price considered for Romania is 0.1734 €/kWh, which is the average price in the first quarter of 2021, according to EU statistics .
The levelized cost of storage (LCOS) method and the sensitivity analysis performed indicate that the lead-carbon battery is the most feasible solution. This investigation provides valuable up-to-date information for household and industrial consumers in their decision-making process.
As can be observed, the AGM-VRLA battery has higher values than the profitability threshold, followed by Gel-VRLA battery and AIHB battery, for both LCOS1 and LCOS2, even if CAPEX decreases by 40 %. Thus, AGM-, Gel-VRLA and AIHB batteries are not profitable, in both studied situations.
