There are a limited number of grid topologies where a battery can add this kind of value. It's really unusual to be this extreme.

Correct, at the current price.

I saw elsewhere that battery price is going down 15% per year. So, over time, more grid topologies will be able to leverage this technology.

All grid topologies. Grids will be rendered obsolete absent forced support.
