To date, research interest in LAES has increased year by year, focusing mainly on techno-economic analysis and system optimisation. Guizzi et al. [13] conducted a thermodynamic analysis of a LAES plant.The results indicated that when the cryoturbine''s isentropic efficiency is at least 70 %, the RTE can achieve 55 %.
Storage profit maximization is based on buying energy at the lowest prices and selling it at the highest prices. The best strategy must thus be based on both accurately predicting the price peak hours and on rightly choosing when to buy and when to sell the stored energy. In this aim, price prediction is crucial, but choosing the prediction model by means of the usual

Zucker et al. [17] established the PV time shift and arbitrage model. When the electricity price was low, the ESS was charged from the PV plant or the power grid. When the electricity price was high, the ESS discharged to the power grid, and the ESS obtained income through the price difference of energy storage and release.
We apply and compare this method to cost evaluation approaches in a renewables-based European power system model, covering diverse energy storage
The instability of current new energy production has greatly driven the development of energy storage [6,7]. Lithium-ion batteries (LBs) as one of the crucial energy storage mediums are widely utilized due to their high energy density, long cycle life, and absence of memory effect [8–10].
The basic principle of energy arbitrage consists of taking advantage of the electricity price volatility: buying energy at a low price, storing it, and selling it later at a higher price. For this reason, the net profit ℙ t is equal to the export revenue stream ℝ t minus the import cost stream ℂ imp t and the degradation cost stream ℂ deg t .
The coupled photovoltaic-energy storage-charging station (PV-ES-CS) is an important approach of promoting the transition from fossil energy consumption to low-carbon energy use. However, the integrated charging station is underdeveloped. One of the key reasons for this is that there lacks the evaluation of its economic and environmental benefits.
Conversely, the profit is reduced to zero when energy prices are very low. An increase in hourly profit is due to the selling of electricity discharged from the storage. Thus, the hybrid renewable energy farm generates more profit when the energy prices are high. Therefore, profit is maximized by optimally dispatching energy between wind farm
The purpose of energy arbitrage is to store low-price energy during periods of low demand and subsequently using it during high-price periods. On the other hand, although the purpose of peak shaving could seem similar, its main objective is to trim the energy consumption peaks when those exceed the contracted power that leads to additional cost overruns that
In response to the challenges posed by global climate change, nations worldwide are advancing the low-carbon transformation of their energy structures (Li et al., 2023a; Yuan et al., 2024).Central to this shift is the increasing reliance on renewable energy sources, prized for their environmental sustainability.
In the past, Battery Energy Storage Systems were not economical due to the high upfront investment costs and the low profit expectations.

A shorter loan period is associated with higher energy storage costs for all three technologies, as shown by the dashed lines.
Conclusion Due to the increased daily electricity price variations caused by the peak and off-peak demands, energy storage systems can be utilized to generate arbitrage by charging the plants during low price periods and discharging them during high price periods.
The revenue is considered as the income from the energy storage plant with various roundtrip efficiencies. Thus, an optimal methodology was developed to determine the largest revenue through the charging and discharging operations based on the price profile.
In general, energy storage systems can provide value to the energy system by reducing its total system cost; and reducing risk for any investment and operation. This paper discusses total system cost reduction in an idealised model without considering risks.
Price differences due to demand variations enable arbitrage by energy storage. Maximum daily revenue through arbitrage varies with roundtrip efficiency. Revenue of arbitrage is compared to cost of energy for various storage technologies. Breakeven cost of storage is firstly calculated with different loan periods.
