The rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) workloads and data center infrastructure is driving a surge in electricity demand, underscoring the need for robust metrics to evaluate energy generation and storage strategies. This study introduces the Bring Your Own Battery (BYOBattery) metric, a region-specific, temporally resolved indicator designed to quantify the ideal energy storage capacity required to mitigate generation-demand mismatches. The BYOBattery metric is computed as the minimum ideal battery storage required to eliminate generation-demand imbalances over a given time window, and is extended to incorporate curtailment via a convex optimization formulation to better manage peak generation and storage requirements. We applied the BYOBattery metric to wind, solar, and nuclear generation technologies across three major U.S. grid regions: the California Independent System Operator (CAISO), the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), and the Pennsylvania–New Jersey–Maryland Interconnection (PJM), using operational data from 2021 to 2024. Key findings are: (1) nuclear consistently requires the least storage in order to meet demand (i.e., one equivalent load hour compared with 10–25 h for wind and solar); (2) wind storage requirements decrease with increased capacity, whereas solar necessitates consistent levels of storage; and (3) the 30-year non-discounted cost per kWh for nuclear ($0.10/kWh) is substantially lower than that of wind or solar by a factor of 1–4 across all studied region. The BYOBattery metric enables comparative benchmarking of generation technologies under dynamic demand conditions and supports cost-informed planning for energy systems. This work contributes a reproducible, interpretable, and computationally efficient tool for energy system analyses and broader performance evaluations.
