Abstract: Abstract This paper is concerned with grid-level battery storage operations, taking battery aging into consideration. Battery operations under price uncertainty are modeled as a Markov Decision Process with expected cumulated discounted rewards. The structure of the optimal policy is studied. An algorithm that takes advantage of the problem structure and works directly on the continuous state space is developed to maximize the objective over the life of the battery. The algorithm determines an optimal policy by solving a sequence of quasiconvex problems indexed by a battery-life state. Computational results are presented to compare the proposed approach to a standard dynamic programming method, and to evaluate the impact of refinements in the battery model. Error bounds for the proposed algorithm are established to demonstrate its accuracy.
