In , battery cost projections were updated based on publications that focused on utility-scale battery systems (Cole and Frazier ), with updates published in (Cole and Frazier ) and (Cole, Frazier, and Augustine ). There was no update published in .
What are base year costs for utility-scale battery energy storage systems?
Base year costs for utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are based on a bottom-up cost model using the data and methodology for utility-scale BESS in (Ramasamy et al., ). The bottom-up BESS model accounts for major components, including the LIB pack, the inverter, and the balance of system (BOS) needed for the installation.
The cost projections developed in this work utilize the normalized cost reductions across the literature, and result in 16-49% capital cost reductions by and 28-67% cost reductions by .
