Optimum sizing and configuration of electrical system for
Authors in this research highlight that they have use new algorithm to consider level of renewable energy integration, cost of electricity and capacity status of the energy storage unit.
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.
Looking at 100 MW and 1,000 MW systems (Figure 6.3) shows that CAES systems offer the lowest LCOS of all technologies included in this report for 2021 due to its lower unit energy capital cost and higher cycle/calendar life, reaching a minimum of $0.10/kWh for a 1,000 MW, 10-hour system.
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).
Non-battery systems, on the other hand, range considerably more depending on duration. Looking at 100 MW systems, at a 2-hour duration, gravity-based energy storage is estimated to be over $1,100/kWh but drops to approximately $200/kWh at 100 hours.
