Energy Storage Cost and Performance Database
DOE''s Energy Storage Grand Challenge supports detailed cost and performance analysis for a variety of energy storage technologies to accelerate their development and deployment.
Focus is placed on lithium ion and flow battery technologies; the former being the current market leader, the latter in the early stages of market adoption. Results of this analysis support the continued evaluation and potential deployment of energy storage as a grid asset.
Rapid change is underway in the energy storage sector. Prices for energy storage systems remain on a downward trajectory. The deployment of energy storage systems (ESSs) -- measured by capacity or energy -- continue to grow in the U.S., with a widening array of stationary power applications being successfully targeted.
Limitations in charge power or rate may impact the storage systems ability to perform dynamic responses such as frequency regulation, and its ability to perform multiple cycles per day.
Lithium ion battery systems are projected to remain the lowest cost battery energy storage option in 2019 for a given site and utility use case. The costs of lithium ion batteries have decreased by roughly 80% since 2010 due to a number of factors.
