Abstract

The Battery Energy Storage System(BESS) has lots of advantages such as load levelling, quick response emergency power(spinning reserve), frequency and voltage control, improvement of reliability, and deferred generation and transmission construction. The economic feasibility requires justification from the customer side of meter to promoting the dissemination of BESS nationally. In this paper, we proposed the economic assessment model of customer owned Battery Energy Storage System(BESS) which is complemented and improved the existing model. The proposed model is applied to the typical customer type(light-industrial commercial, and residential) which are taken from the statistical analysis on the load profile survey of Korea Electric Power COmpany (KEPCO). The economic assessment performed for each customer type to justifying their economic feasibility of BESS installation from the economic measures such as payback period, overall benefits, ROI, and ROR. The results of this paper are useful to the customer investment decision making and the national energy policy & strategy.
