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.

The Energy Matrix is the total percentage of all natural resources from which energy is derived and then transformed into electricity to supply households, business and industries. In Costa Rica, ICE is in charge of managing and controlling this matrix through its National Control Center (CENCE) and the National Electric System (SEN).
Since the middle of the last century, Costa Rica explodes its renewable sources in a planned and balanced way; it is possible thanks to a diverse, sustainable, optimized and economical matrix. This matrix guarantees the energy supply thanks to the participation of the public and the private sector.

The configuration of user-side energy storage can effectively alleviate the timing mismatch between distributed photovoltaic output and load power demand, and use the industrial user electricity price mechanis.
The optimal configuration capacity of photovoltaic and energy storage depends on several factors such as time-of-use electricity price, consumer demand for electricity, cost of photovoltaic and energy storage, and the local annual solar radiation.
The photovoltaic installed capacity set in the figure is 2395kW. When the energy storage capacity is 1174kW h, the user's annual expenditure is the smallest and the economic benefit is the best. Fig. 4. The impact of energy storage capacity on annual expenditures.
PV technology integrated with energy storage is necessary to store excess PV power generated for later use when required. Energy storage can help power networks withstand peaks in demand allowing transmission and distribution grids to operate efficiently.
When the electricity price is relatively high and the photovoltaic output does not meet the user's load requirements, the energy storage releases the stored electricity to reduce the user's electricity purchase costs.
The optimization objective is to maximize the annual revenue. The optimization interval is 1 hour, with a total of 8760 hours in a year. The results of the annual optimization of the PV–storage system are employed as the operating constraints and references for the daily rolling optimization.
Secondly, to minimize the investment and annual operational and maintenance costs of the photovoltaic–energy storage system, an optimal capacity allocation model for photovoltaic and storage is established, which serves as the foundation for the two-layer operation optimization model.
