6 FAQs about [Water storage cost analysis report epc]
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.
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 recycling and decommissioning included in the cost and performance assessment?
Recycling and decommissioning are included as additional costs for Li-ion, redox flow, and lead-acid technologies. The 2020 Cost and Performance Assessment analyzed energy storage systems from 2 to 10 hours. The 2022 Cost and Performance Assessment analyzes storage system at additional 24- and 100-hour durations.
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.
Are EPC fees based on direct capital costs?
For the conventional LAES, with liquid air and hot and cold storage, assumptions were made regarding unit energy and power costs such that direct capital costs including EPC fee were equal to the costs provided, hence these costs may have some unavoidable inaccuracies (Riley, 2021).
Are EPC & project development costs less than a contingency fee?
For this work, it is assumed that the EPC, project development, and grid integration costs are less than the 33% contingency fee typically used in PSH systems due to lower complexity of site selection and permitting and were set at 20% of direct costs.
