Popis: Lithium-ion batteries can be used by households in a wide range of demand response (DR) programs. This paper examines break-even costs of lithium-ion batteries used in time-of-use (TOU) pricing DR programs. A mixed-integer program is developed to optimize battery capacities and operating schedules. Battery degradation is explicitly considered using a piecewise linear approximation. The model is tested under two TOU pricing tariffs. Parametric sensitivity analysis is conducted with respect to loan rates and C-rates. The results suggest that the lithium-ion batteries are still prohibitively expensive under prevailing market conditions.
