The levelized cost of storage (LCOS), similar to LCOE, quantifies the storage system''s costs in relation to energy or service delivered [44], [45]. Some key differences between LCOE and LCOS include the inclusion of electricity charging costs, physical constraints of the storage system during charge/discharge, and differentiation of power
Figure 14.1 is limited to utility-scale capacity, while there is also a growing, although much more difficult to quantify, amount of behind-the-meter storage.

This comprehensive guide delves into the various metrics, technologies, and cost components that shape the overall cost-effectiveness of battery storage solutions. Levelized Cost of Storage (LCOS): The Key Metric. The Levelized Cost of Storage (LCOS) is a widely used metric to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of energy storage technologies.
Various levelized cost of storage (LCOS) studies addressing different research directions are available in the scientific literature [9, 13, 18]. Hesse HC et al (2017) Lithium-ion battery storage for the grid—a review of stationary battery storage system design tailored for applications in modern power grids. Energies 10(12).

The decreasing discharge and the increasing LCOS are partly among the reasons why the cells and stacks are refurbished or replaced every 2–3 years depending on the allowable loss in the system storage efficiency, usually these ESS are replaced when the ESS loses 20–30% of its storage capacity, and when the battery''s efficiency reaches 80%

Utility-scale battery storage systems have a typical storage capacity ranging from a few MWh to hundreds of MWh. In recent years, most of the market growth in the market has been in lithium-ion batteries [42]. They have a larger Depth of Discharge (DoD) which results in higher efficiency and longer operating life [14].

Battery storage systems show a wider range of LCOS due to the fact that the CAPEX can vary widely and the LCOS is mostly dependent on this value. Li-ion batteries today have an LCOS between 23 and 37 €ct/kWh at 365 cycles per year. This cost is higher than that of Pb batteries which have an LCOS of 15–19 €ct/kWh.
The authors find that PSH have the lowest LCOS of 2.5 €ct/kWh, excluding cost of charged electricity. Adiabatic CAES (aCAES) can operate at 5.3 €ct/kWh and lead-acid batteries as well as H 2 have a cost of 15.9 €ct/kWh. For PSH, lead-acid battery and H 2 storage systems a split of cost is shown.
For all technologies the arithmetic average of costs is used. A comparison of the storage technologies shows the inhomogeneous distribution of cost structure: The LCOS of PSH and CAES is dominated by the CAPEX, in which the storage unit has the highest cost share. This explains the high LCOS of these technologies if used as long-term storage.
The main results are that PSH and CAES have the lowest LCOS of all technologies for energy arbitrage with 5.4–7.1 €ct/kWh. Natrium sulfur batteries are the most cost-efficient option among the battery technologies for both energy arbitrage and T&D support. However, the authors note that the uncertainties in the cost of batteries are large.
Energy storage addresses the intermittence of renewable energy and realizes grid stability. Therefore, the cost-effectiveness of energy storage systems is of vital importance, and LCOS is a critical metric that influences project investment and policymaking.
The number of operation hours was chosen technology specific. The authors find that PSH have the lowest LCOS of 2.5 €ct/kWh, excluding cost of charged electricity. Adiabatic CAES (aCAES) can operate at 5.3 €ct/kWh and lead-acid batteries as well as H 2 have a cost of 15.9 €ct/kWh.
