Without a renewable energy system installed, battery systems are eligible for the 7-year MACRS depreciation schedule: an equivalent reduction in capital cost of about 25%.1 The same benefit applies to battery systems installed along with a renewable energy system if the battery is charged by the renewable energy system less than 50% of the time.2 If the battery system is charged by the renewable energy system more than 50% of the time on an annual basis, the battery should qualify for the 5-year MACRS schedule, equal to about a 27% reduction in capital costs.

Accordingly, the battery depreciation cost can be divided into two part: the fixed cost and the controllable cost. For the fixed part, the aging process is inevitable, and a battery has a finite calendar life. For example, once a battery is installed, it will be scrapped after certain years even if it has not been put into operation.
A quantitative depreciation cost model is put forward for lithium batteries. A practical charging/discharging strategy is applied to battery management. The depth of discharge of the battery storage is scheduled more rationally. The proposed strategy improves the cost efficiency of lithium batteries in MGs.
Some factors are independent of the dispatch strategy such as the ambient temperature and cumulative usage time. While some are controllable, such as the charging/discharging strategy and the DOD in a cycle. Accordingly, the battery depreciation cost can be divided into two part: the fixed cost and the controllable cost.
Battery systems that are charged by a renewable energy system more than 75% of the time are eligible for the ITC ( When claiming the ITC, the MACRS depreciation basis is reduced by half of the value of the ITC. ), currently 30% for systems charged by PV and declining to 10% from 2022 onward.
If owned directly by a public entity, such as a public university or federal agency, battery storage systems are not eligible for tax-based incentives. If owned by a private party (i.e., a tax-paying business), battery systems may be eligible for some or all of the federal tax incentives described below.
For further analysis of the economical impact of LB management method on MG, operational costs of the two methods are compared in Table 6. When considering battery depreciation cost under the proposed method, the average DOD of LB groups is 31.11%, lower than 80% under the traditional method.
