Several factors can influence the cost of a BESS, including: Larger systems cost more, but they often provide better value per kWh due to economies of scale. For instance, utility-scale projects benefit from bulk purchasing and reduced per-unit costs compared to residential installations. Costs can vary depending on where the system is installed.
Forecasting and estimation methods are generally used for the life cycle and the replacement of the battery. However, this paper proposes optimization to get the best results and reduce the total cost of the BESS system. The weighted Wh method and the PSO algorithm are applied for optimizing the cost of BESS.
According to a report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the future of cost development for BESS is promising. As deployment of renewable energy sources increase, the demand for energy storage will increase and offer new economic opportunities (Ralon, et al., 2017).
The weighted Wh throughput method is used in this paper to estimate the BESS lifetime. Furthermore, the well-known Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is employed to maximize battery capacity while minimizing the total net present value.

Compare actual realized Utility Energy Consumption (kWh/year) and Cost ($/year) with Utility Consumption and Cost as estimated using NREL’s REopt or System Advisor Model (SAM) computer programs.
However, with BESS any error in the charge and discharge of the battery tends to accumulate so in terms of hour-by-hour time series data, the model of a BESS or PV+BESS system status quickly deviates from the measurements, and an hour-by-hour comparison of model to measured values is not meaningful.
