From 8 h to 16 h, the LCOE of thermal storage is under 0.5 CNY/kWh, making it economically competitive. The LCOS of lithium batteries and thermal energy storage overlap when the duration is between 2 and 4 h, and the economic advantage of thermal energy storage gradually exceeds that of lithium batteries.
It involves dividing all expenses (including capital expenditures and operation and maintenance costs throughout the system's lifetime N) by the amount of energy discharged by the storage system, Eout, over the same period. The capital cost and energy output are adjusted for the time value of money using the discount rate.
Sensitivity analysis reveals the possible impact on economic performance under conditions of near-future technological progress. The application analysis reveals that battery energy storage is the most cost-effective choice for durations of <2 h, while thermal energy storage is competitive for durations of 2.3–8 h.
