Cost-Effectiveness of Distributed Generation Technologies The results in Figure 5-2 help to explain why storage technology is not cost-effective while both wind and ORC pass the STRC test. First, the system cost for storage is high relative to the system cost of wind or ORC while the avoided cost benefits from storage are lower than the avoided cost benefits from wind or ORC. In addition, storage must pay a fueling or charging costs while wind and ORC receive their power from free sources. Storage, as modeled in the Base Scenario, relies on price arbitrage to create value. Storage is modeled to charge batteries during the low cost period of the night (over a five-hour time period) and discharge to the facility during the high cost peak period (over a four-hour time period). The low and high cost periods are valued in the STRC according to the E3 avoided costs. For storage to be cost-effective, the value of the high cost period must be substantially higher than the value of the charging period and there must be enough high cost periods during the year. Figure 5-3 illustrates the hourly values of the avoided cost for PG&E in climate zone 3. The avoided cost values have been sorted to help illustrate that, while the 8,760 of avoided costs include very high hourly valuation for energy, the number of hours with extremely high energy values is relatively low. Storage is not cost-effective because there are not enough high value hours to overcome the high cost of the storage measure.
