Sizing Approximation

OnlineComing soon

The Sizing Approximation shows which storage duration maximises IRR for a given grid connection point and market configuration — based on live market data.

What's included

IRR comparison across durations 0.9h / 1.5h / 2h / 4h
Sensitivity to market price assumptions (optimistic / base / conservative)
CapEx breakeven analysis: above which CapEx does which duration make sense?
FCA impact on the optimal sizing decision
Recommendation for Standalone vs. co-location per duration

Inputs

Available grid capacity (MW)
Target market (DE, AT, FR, …)
CapEx assumption (€/kWh) — or range
FCA type (if known)

Outputs

IRR per duration in a comparative view
Optimal duration recommendation with rationale
CapEx sensitivity: delta IRR per €50/kWh CapEx variation
Summary of duration implications for ancillary service markets

For whom

Project developers at early stage when storage size is still open
