# Storage Models
2-
Storage technologies input and output the 'Storage Commodity' (`commodity`) at different times. These technologies can be filled or charged, then unfilled or discharged at some later time. These models are usually constrained by two key model parameters: storage capacity and charge/discharge rate.

Storage technologies input and output the 'Storage Commodity' (`commodity`) as a time series. These technologies can be both filled or charged and unfilled or discharged, resulting in a commodity stream that can be positive and negative.These models are usually constrained by two key model parameters: storage capacity and charge/discharge rate.

- `annual_commodity_produced`: each value is the `total_commodity_produced` scaled to a 1-year (8760 hours) simulation. This value may be negative if the storage charges more than discharges.

- `capacity_factor`: the storage capacity factor calculated as capacity factors are calculated in converter technologies, a ratio of the sum of *`total_commodity_produced`* to the discharge rate (or `rated_commodity_production`). This value may be negative if the storage charges more than discharges.
