For batteries participating in DR programs, degradation costs should be a primary concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Energy Pool Capacity:<\/strong> The capacity of the energy pool should accommodate the total energy demand for both PB and DR scenarios. This total demand should consider several components: switchover capacity (DR), short-term supply capacity (eco-PB), and long-term supply capacity (PB).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"573\" height=\"271\" src=\"https:\/\/www.datacenterair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/datacenterair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image2.png 573w, https:\/\/datacenterair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image2-300x142.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 573px) 100vw, 573px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cost Models:<\/strong> While the paper provides some cost models, they may not be very practical as battery, capacitor, and flywheel costs have changed significantly over the past decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"449\" height=\"844\" src=\"https:\/\/www.datacenterair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/datacenterair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image3.png 449w, https:\/\/datacenterair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image3-160x300.png 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 449px) 100vw, 449px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The paper, available at https:\/\/www.usenix.org\/system\/files\/conference\/hotpower14\/hotpower14_narayanan.pdf delves into various power supply architectures.
