💰 Anyone investing in, financing or operating a battery storage system is ultimately trying to answer the same question: How well does this battery perform and how much revenue can it generate? To answer that question and to create a sense of comparability across assets, the industry has largely converged on one benchmark: euros per megawatt per year (€/MW/year). The consequence: Assets are grouped into standard duration categories. Downtime is corrected by excluding periods of unavailability. These inputs create the impression of a level playing field, leading to a simplified shortcut: Benchmarked performance is a simple metric to make comparisons across assets or against the market. The logic is understandable. The conclusion is not. That's why it's time to shift perspectives. ➡️ Performance only has meaning when compared to what was actually achievable for that specific asset. Take two battery systems of almost identical size. On paper, they seem comparable. But one might operate under significant grid restrictions, while the other doesn't. The result is fundamentally different optimization potential – and therefore fundamentally different revenue outcomes. That’s why we propose a different approach: Define, for each asset, what a reasonable achievable performance would have looked like given its real constraints and the actual market conditions it faced. Performance is then a ratio – actual to achievable. A true performance score. 📥 Download our whitepaper Shifting Perspectives to explore the full argument: https://lnkd.in/dUvUjxwk #BeyondTrading #ShiftingPerspectives
