6 FAQs about [Energy storage device operating cost accounting]

How are battery energy storage costs forecasted?

Forecast procedures for battery energy storage costs are described in the main body of this report. C&C or engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) costs can be estimated using the footprint or total volume and weight of the battery energy storage system (BESS). For this report, volume was used as a proxy for these metrics.

What is the cost of energy storage?

The cost of energy storage varies by technology. According to a 2018 report by RedT Energy Storage, the cost of their Gen 2 machines starts at $490/kWh.

What is levelized cost of Storage (LCOS)?

Levelized cost of storage (LCOS) can be a simple, intuitive, and useful metric for determining whether a new energy storage plant would be profitable over its life cycle and to compare the cost of different energy storage technologies. However, researchers and industry decision makers still use conflicting definitions of LCOS.

What is the annualized cost of pumped storage?

Pumped storage, when additionally compared on an energy basis, offered a very low cost of $19/kWh-yr using 2018 values.

What is the cost of a storage system?

The estimated cost of a storage system (ICC) varies depending on the storage time. For a high-head, large-capacity project, the ICC is approximately $2,200 to $2,500/kW for a 6-hour storage time, $2,400 to $2,800/kW for an 8-hour storage time, and $2,600 to $3,100/kW for a 10-hour storage time.

What are the most cost-effective energy storage technologies?

PSH (Pumped Hydropower Storage) and CAES (Compressed Air Energy Storage) are the most cost-effective energy storage technologies evaluated within this report, on a $/kWh basis.
