Rapid growth of intermittent renewable power generation makes the identification of investment opportunities in energy storage and the establishment of their profitability indispensable. Here we first present.
Building upon both strands of work, we propose to characterize business models of energy storage as the combination of an application of storage with the revenue stream earned from the operation and the market role of the investor.
E Though the business models are not yet fully developed, the cases indicate some initial trends for energy storage technology. Energy storage is becoming an independent asset class in the energy system; it is neither part of transmission and distribution, nor generation. We see four key lessons emerging from the cases.
We propose to characterize a “business model” for storage by three parameters: the application of a storage facility, the market role of a potential investor, and the revenue stream obtained from its operation (Massa et al., 2017).
The business models for large energy storage systems like PHS and CAES are changing. Their role is tradition-ally to support the energy system, where large amounts of baseload capacity cannot deliver enough flexibility to respond to changes in demand during the day.
In anticipation of a bright future, the first projects with energy storage are being set up. We have analyzed some of these cases and clustered them according to their po-sition in the energy value chain and the type of revenues associated with the business model.
This paper proposes to connect a thermal energy storage (TES) with phase change material (PCM) to a photovoltaic (PV) installation in order to store surplus output at the place of generation. A thermal energy storage with a PCM has been designed with the use of an electric heater for charging and water for discharge.
According to Italia Solare's assessment, as of September 30, 2025, Italy had 848,814 connected electrochemical storage systems, representing a total energy capacity of 17,416 MWh and total power of 7,068 MW. Italian electricity transmission system operator Terna has published the results of 2025's main capacity market auction. The conclusion comes from Italia. In the first three months of 2025, five new battery storage plants went into operation, bringing the installed capacity of our battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Italy to 1 GW. This move underscores the country's growing commitment to grid resilience, energy. The Italian energy storage market is expected to experience its second consecutive year of decline in 2025, with new installations falling to 5. 1 GWh and further declining to 4. Solar panels peak at noon, but demand surges at 7 PM - that's where battery storage systems become crucial.
