This is because each Joule of energy stored thermally is offsetting less electrical energy for the higher COP applications (milder climate). For a case where the capital cost is $75/kW h th, and the utilization is 125 cycles per year, the LCOS is −$0.03/kW h e, $0.15/kW h e and $0.34/kW h e, for COP av values of 1, 3, and 6, …Web
