6 FAQs about [National energy storage machine prices]
What are the different types of energy storage costs?
The cost categories used in the report extend across all energy storage technologies to allow ease of data comparison. Direct costs correspond to equipment capital and installation, while indirect costs include EPC fee and project development, which include permitting, preliminary engineering design, and the owner’s engineer and financing costs.
What are energy storage cost metrics?
Cost metrics are approached from the viewpoint of the final downstream entity in the energy storage project, ultimately representing the final project cost. This framework helps eliminate current inconsistencies associated with specific cost categories (e.g., energy storage racks vs. energy storage modules).
Are energy storage systems cost estimates accurate?
The cost estimates provided in the report are not intended to be exact numbers but reflect a representative cost based on ranges provided by various sources for the examined technologies. The analysis was done for energy storage systems (ESSs) across various power levels and energy-to-power ratios.
What are the benchmarks for PV and energy storage systems?
The benchmarks in this report are bottom-up cost estimates of all major inputs to PV and energy storage system (ESS) installations. Bottom-up costs are based on national averages and do not necessarily represent typical costs in all local markets.
Which energy storage technologies are included in the 2020 cost and performance assessment?
The 2020 Cost and Performance Assessment provided installed costs for six energy storage technologies: lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, lead-acid batteries, vanadium redox flow batteries, pumped storage hydro, compressed-air energy storage, and hydrogen energy storage.
Which storage technology has the lowest cost?
At 100 MW, 4 hours, LFP has the second lowest installed cost at $385/kWh, followed by NMC ($435/kWh) and lead-acid ($447/kWh). At the 10 hour duration, PSH is projected to be the second lowest cost storage technology ($263/kWh) at the same scale, followed by thermal and hydrogen.
