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.
Utility or Grid-Scale Battery Storage is essentially what it sounds like: the use of industrial power batteries to store energy that can be accessed when needed. Picture the battery that’s in your cellphone.
MWh (Megawatt-hour) is a measure of energy capacity (how long the system can continue delivering that power output). For example, a 1 MW / 4 MWh BESS has four hours of storage capacity.So, while the system might be $200,000 per MW, the effective cost can be $800,000 per MWh if it has four hours duration.
The cost forecasts used in this module are updated from the values that were used in the IESO’s 2022 P2D study and are based on the 2023 NREL ATB report. NREL provides capital cost projections for wind generation and both utility-scale and distribution-scale installations of solar and storage.
The IESO currently bases most of its forecasts for the cost of new renewable resources on the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL) Annual Technology Baseline (ATB) report1. The ATB is an annual survey of resource cost projections that is a common reference point for both industry and academic studies.
Utility-scale storage is optimised by charging during off-peak hours (when the grid is powered primarily by nuclear and hydro in Ontario and therefore low-emitting) and injecting energy back into the grid during peak hours.
