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., 2023). 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.
To determine the total project costs for the lithium-ion battery technology, for example, the product of the capital and C&C costs and its energy capacity (4000 × $ 372) is taken. We then add that value to the product of the PCS and BOP costs and the unit’s power capacity (1000 × $ 388).
While lithium-ion technology is considered the most mature of battery storage technologies, improvements will continue to be made that will increase the calendar life, energy density, and number of cycles the technology can provide. Table 14 shows estimations for different efficiency and life parameters across a range of cited studies.
While lithium-ion may have more costs associated with safety and battery management systems (BMSs), the larger size of other battery technologies can result in higher O&M costs, and their relatively safe operational characteristics work toward lowering O&M costs. A fixed O&M cost of $ 10/kW-yr was assumed for all battery chemistries in this paper.
Battery storage costs have evolved rapidly over the past several years, necessitating an update to storage cost projections used in long-term planning models and other activities. This work documents the development of these projections, which are based on recent publications of storage costs.
Figure ES-2 shows the overall capital cost for a 4-hour battery system based on those projections, with storage costs of $245/kWh, $326/kWh, and $403/kWh in 2030 and $159/kWh, $226/kWh, and $348/kWh in 2050.
