Presentation of electricity procurement costs based on a specific case study

Poster created as part of the SecöndLife project.

Abstract

State-induced electricity price components are a relevant cost factor for the operation of heat storage power plants. Based on the workflow “Grid electricity purchase – conversion – storage – electricity self-utilization”, the poster illustrates how the grid fee, the (grid fee-linked) levies and surcharges as well as the electricity tax, including any exceptions and exemptions, are incurred.
