Analysis of a customer-side-of-the-meter storage battery facility

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6455812
This report describes an analysis of a customer-side-of-the-meter (CSOM) storage battery facility from the financial risk viewpoint. A risk-adjusted rate of return was determined using the Capital Asset Pricing Model, and that rate was applied in an analysis of a site-specific CSOM facility design for a textile manufacturer. A sensitivity analysis of net present value to changes in the on-peak demand charge rate and the demand charge escalation rate was performed. Sensitivity analysis results were quantified by calculating coefficients of variation. The results show that the CSOM facility project is riskier than originally thought.
