In total, the cost of a 2MW battery storage system can range from approximately $1 million to $1.5 million or more, depending on the factors mentioned above. It is important to note that these are only rough estimates, and the actual cost can vary depending on the specific requirements and characteristics of each project.
The cost of the BMS can account for about 5% to 10% of the total battery storage system cost. For a 2MW system, if we assume a BMS cost ratio of 8%, and the total system cost excluding the BMS is $800,000 (as calculated for the battery cost above), then the cost of the BMS would be $800,000 * 0.08 = $64,000.
**Battery Cost**: The battery is the core component of the energy storage system, and its cost accounts for a significant portion of the total cost. As of 2024, the cost of lithium-ion batteries, which are widely used in energy storage, has been declining. On average, the cost of lithium-ion battery cells can range from $0.3 to $0.5 per watt-hour.
