Grid-Scale Battery Storage: Costs, Value, and Regulatory Framework in India Webinar jointly hosted by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Prayas Energy Group
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.
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.
The 2020 Cost and Performance Assessment provided installed costs for six energy storage technologies: lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, lead-acid batteries, vanadium redox flow batteries, pumped storage hydro, compressed-air energy storage, and hydrogen energy storage.
Non-battery systems, on the other hand, range considerably more depending on duration. Looking at 100 MW systems, at a 2-hour duration, gravity-based energy storage is estimated to be over $1,100/kWh but drops to approximately $200/kWh at 100 hours.
For brick-based storage systems, cost and performance information was obtained for a single power output (10 MW) with two different energy outputs (40 and 2,40 MWh) (Terruzzin, 2021). From this information, costs were extrapolated for the various energy and power levels considered in this study by solving two linear equations.
Battery grid storage solutions, which have seen significant growth in deployments in the past decade, have projected 2021 costs for fully installed 100 MW, 10-hour battery systems of: Li-ion LFP ($356/kWh), Li-ion NMC ($405/kWh), vanadium RFB ($385/kWh), and lead-acid ($409/kWh).
