Lead is a viable solution, if cycle life is increased. Other technologies like flow need to lower cost, already allow for +25 years use (with some O&M of course). Source: 2022 Grid Energy
By 2030, total installed costs could fall between 50% and 60% (and battery cell costs by even more), driven by optimisation of manufacturing facilities, combined with better combinations and reduced use of materials. Battery lifetimes and performance will also keep improving, helping to reduce the cost of services delivered.
Current capital costs of wind, solar PV, and battery range from approximately $1,800/kW to $3,100kW and are forecast to decline to $900/kW to $1,800/kW by 2050. 1 NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory). 2023. "2023 Annual Technology Baseline."
While hybrid resources (e.g. wind-storage and solar-storage combinations) may allow for greater flexibility compared to stand alone renewables or storage, the value they may provide to an integrated electrical system, beyond that of the sum of value provided by their underlying components, is not clear.
The maximum projection in 2030 did not extend through 2050. One projection showed only a 5.8% cost decline from 2030 to 2050, so we used this as the basis for extending the highest cost 2030 projection through to 2050. In other words, the highest cost projection in 2030 was assumed to decline by 5.8% through 2050.
Forecasts to 2050 for wind, solar photovoltaic (PV, both utility-scale and distributed), four-hour battery storage (both utility-scale and distributed) and hybrid solar and storage systems are shown in Figure 1.
In 2019, battery cost projections were updated based on publications that focused on utility-scale battery systems (Cole and Frazier 2019), with updates published in 2020 (Cole and Frazier 2020) and 2021 (Cole, Frazier, and Augustine 2021). There was no update published in 2022.
