%T A comparison between capacity, cost and degradation in Australian residential battery systems %A Steven Percy %A Mohammad Aldeen %A Christopher N. Rowe %A et al. %I IEEE Innovative Smart Grid Technologies - Asia, 28 November - 1 December 2016, Melbourne, Australia %D 2016 %K Household appliances, %K Energy consumption, %K Energy storage %R 10.1109/ISGT-Asia.2016.7796386 %U https://apo.org.au/node/233326 %X There are a number of factors accelerating the uptake of residential battery systems in Australia, these include: falling battery cost, increased energy prices and lower solar export rates. Given the new interest, it is important to analyse the optimal capacities of residential battery systems, for a standard Australian households. This paper contributes an extension to modelling techniques by considering NPV energy costs, 25 year solar lifetime, commercially available modular battery sizes and DOD limits. %9 Conference paper
