Chinese companies, by contrast, dominate not just battery production but the entire ecosystem — cathodes, anodes, electrolytes and logistics. Europe will struggle to replicate these capabilities.
On a regional basis, average battery pack prices were lowest in China, at $94/kWh. Packs in the US and Europe were 31% and 48% higher, reflecting the relative immaturity of these markets, as well as higher production costs and lower volumes.
The California site has the largest sizing of PV and battery due to significant value from retail bill savings, demand response, and wholesale markets. The value achieved by the addition of PV and battery is large enough to offset the added cost of the microgrid, and this is the only site to have a positive net present value.
The battery achieves significant revenue from the frequency regulation market. The breakdown of wholesale revenue is about 60% from frequency regulation, 39% from energy, and less than 1% from spinning reserve. The demand response revenue is reduced compared to the diesel-only microgrid because of the reduced EDGs.
The hybrid microgrid consists of networked diesel generators, PV panels, and battery storage. To calculate the expected performance of the backup system for a given outage, we first determine the initial probabilities of being in each system state, which is dependent on the number of working generators and the battery initial state of charge (SOC).
Prices for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) came in at $97/kWh, crossing below the $100/kWh threshold for the first time. While EVs have reached price parity in China, they are still more expensive than comparable combustion cars in many markets.
European EV makers need Chinese batteries. Look at the problems faced by Northvolt, Europe’s homegrown battery champion. Despite billions in funding and high-profile contracts, the Swedish company has struggled to scale up, facing operational hurdles and cost overruns. It has now filed for bankruptcy.
Chinese companies, by contrast, dominate not just battery production but the entire ecosystem — cathodes, anodes, electrolytes and logistics. Europe will struggle to replicate these capabilities.
