This paper assesses the profitability of battery storage systems (BSS) by focusing on the internal rate of return (IRR) as a profitability measure which offers advantages over other frequently used measures, most notably the net present value (NPV). It considers various costs and. . Based on the internal rate of return of investment, considering the various nancial details uses particle swarm optimization algorithm based on hybridization and Gaussian mutation to get the energy storage capacity that maximizes the internal rate of return of the investment. The IRR is defined as the discount rate for which the NPV of a project is zero. (4) Impact of pricing method, energy storage investment and incentive policies on carbon emissions.

Multiple requests from the same IP address are counted as one view. This paper assesses the profitability of battery storage systems (BSS) by focusing on the internal rate of return (IRR) as a profitability measure which offers advantages over other frequently used measures, most notably the net present value (NPV).
Internal Rate of Return (IRR) This paper is based on the IRR as a key economic metric for assessing the profitability of investment projects.
We argue in favour of the internal rate of return (IRR) as a preferred method to assess profitability given the advantages over the popular net present value (NPV) and many other frequently used profitability measures.
