On that account, the storage capacity costs (costs per installed storage capacity) of thermal energy storages have been evaluated via a Top-down and a Bottom-up approach. The Top-down approach follows the assumption that the costs of energy supplied by the storage should not exceed the costs of energy from the market. The maximum acceptable storage capacity costs depend on the interest rate assigned to the capital costs, the intended payback period of the user class (e.g. industry or building), the reference energy costs, and the annual number of storage cycles. The Bottom-up approach focuses on the realised storage capacity costs of existing storages. The economic evaluation via Top-down and Bottom-up approach is a valuable tool to make a rough estimate of the economic viability of an energy storage for a specific application. An important finding is that the annual number of storage cycles has the largest influence on the cost effectiveness. At present and with respect to the investigated storages, seasonal heat storage is only economical via large sensible hot water storages. Contrary, if the annual number of storage cycles is sufficiently high, all thermal energy storage technologies can become competitive. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/ENE2012-38633 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/BES-2012-051861 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/ENE2011-28269-C03-01 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/ENE2008-06687-C02-02 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/ENE2014-57262-R This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 657466-INPATH-TES info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/657466/EU/PhD on Innovation Pathways for TES/INPATH-TES info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/610692/EU/USE OF INNOVATIVE THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE FOR MARKED ENERGY SAVINGS AND SIGNIFICANT LOWERING OF CO2 EMISSIONS/INNOSTORAGE info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Hiebler, S Lävemann, E (orcid)0000-0002-2161-3362 Dolado, P (orcid)0000-0001-7360-4188 Lazaro, A Universidad de Zaragoza Gasia, J De Gracia, A Miró, L Cabeza, L.F König-Haagen, A Brüggemann, D Campos-Celador, Á Franquet, E Fumey, B Dannemand, M Badenhop, T Diriken, J.j Nielsen, J.E.
