Study reveals battery degradation costs can exceed energy savings by 1060%

A new study published on arXiv explores the hidden costs of battery degradation in home energy management systems (HEMS) that solely optimize for energy costs. Researchers used a mixed-integer linear programming model with data from the REFIT dataset to analyze the sensitivity of degradation costs across various battery and photovoltaic (PV) sizes. The findings indicate that degradation costs can significantly exceed energy cost savings, by up to 1,060% in some scenarios, highlighting the need for degradation-aware control formulations in HEMS.

    Hidden Degradation Costs in Energy-Cost-Only HEMS Optimisation: Study on Battery and PV Sensitivity

    arXiv:2606.16051v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Residential battery energy storage systems (BESS) are increasingly deployed alongside photovoltaic (PV) generation to reduce household energy costs under volatile time-of-use (TOU) tariffs. Model predictive control (MPC) is a wide…
