In short, no. Indeed, it is unlikely that utility-scale batteries will have a meaningful impact on the price volatility in the day-ahead markets for the coming years.
Looking at the Duration/Frequency graph showing the best technology at each point, I am wondering what the graph would look like when omitting Pumped Hydro. Namely as in certain regions (e.g. The Netherlands) Pumped Hydro is not an option, or otherwise more costly, due to the absence of height differences in the natural landscape. Do you happen to know of such graph?
Thanks for another interesting article!
