As expected, Poland’s latest capacity market auctions have highlighted a significant shift towards the battery energy storage systems (BESS) beside the fact that the de-rating factor has been significantly decreased.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are becoming essential in the shift towards renewable energy, providing solutions for grid stability, energy management, and power quality. However, understanding the costs associated with BESS is critical for anyone considering this technology, whether for a home, business, or utility scale.
The costs of delivery and installation are calculated on a volume ratio of 6:1 for Lithium system compared to a lead-acid system. This assessment is based on the fact that the lithium-ion has an energy density of 3.5 times Lead-Acid and a discharge rate of 100% compared to 50% for AGM batteries.
PSH and CAES are low-cost technologies for short-term energy storage. PtG technologies will be more cost efficient for long-term energy storage. LCOS for battery technologies can reach about 20 €ct/kWh in the future. This paper presents a detailed analysis of the levelized cost of storage (LCOS) for different electricity storage technologies.
The capacity obligations for these projects ranged from 1.2 MW to 153 MW rated power, with an average capacity of around 30 MW. The decision to reduce the de-rating factor for energy storage systems in the last capacity market auction in Poland from 95 percent to 61 percent did not prove detrimental to the market.
With the data assumed in Chapters 3 and 4, the LCOS of Li-ion batteries at 365 cycles per year will decrease to 8–21 €ct/kWh. Pb-batteries will have an LCOS of 10–14 €ct/kWh due to lower cost reduction rates. VRF show the lowest LCOS of all battery technologies with about 9–12 €ct/kWh.
