MW scale storage system procurement cost comparison

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).

How are energy storage systems priced?

They are priced according to five different power ratings to provide a relevant system comparison and a more precise estimate. The power rating of an energy storage system impacts system pricing, where larger systems are typically lower in cost (on a $/kWh basis) than smaller ones due to volume purchasing, etc.

How much does a 1 MW battery storage system cost?

Given the range of factors that influence the cost of a 1 MW battery storage system, it’s difficult to provide a specific price. However, industry estimates suggest that the cost of a 1 MW lithium-ion battery storage system can range from $300 to $600 per kWh, depending on the factors mentioned above.

Which energy storage technologies are included in the cost and performance assessment?

The 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 is a system price?

The system price provided is the total expected installed cost (capital plus EPC) of an energy storage system to a customer. Because the capital cost of these system will vary depending on the power (kW) and energy (kWh) rating of the system, a range of system prices has been provided for the reader.

How can I reduce the cost of a 1 MW battery storage system?

There are several ways to reduce the overall cost of a 1 MW battery storage system: Technological advancements: As battery technologies continue to advance, costs are expected to decrease. For example, improvements in cutting-edge battery technologies can lead to more affordable and efficient storage systems.
