Abstract

A study of the impact of utility rates on the economic viability of Community Energy Storage (CES) is presented in this paper. Using the U.S. Utility Rate Database, the residential rate structures available at each available zip code in the continental United States were analyzed to see how viable CES is for that zip code. An operational CES hardware system was also tested to verify the results from economic analysis for the specific regions.
