To validate our model outputs, we compare our base case to other LCOS models of VRFBs in the open literature. Lazard's annual levelized cost of storage analysis is a useful source for costs of various energy storage systems, and, in 2018, reported levelized VRFB costs in the range of 293–467 $ MWh −1 (for mid-scale systems ~10 MWh) .
The US Department of Energy (DOE) fixed a capital cost target for ES of 100–150 $ kWh −1 (94–140 € kWh −1) and a Levelized Cost of Storage (LCOS) of 0.05 € kWh −1 cycles −1 . The latter is a more complete, though somewhat neglected, economic indicator as it is detailed further on.
These findings highlight the need to consider metrics beyond capital cost when determining viable energy storage solutions, and for RFBs in particular. While this study reveals several important gaps in VRFB research and development, at least in the published literature, it remains a fairly simple treatment of VRFB operation.
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 primary method for recovering the lost capacity in VRFBs is termed rebalancing, where the negative and positive electrolytes are mixed to equilibrate the concentration of vanadium ions in each electrolyte. Rebalancing is generally performed once the accessible capacity drops to a predefined level that is determined by application requirements.
The latter is a more complete, though somewhat neglected, economic indicator as it is detailed further on. In this framework, several recent economic analyses indicate for VFB s a capital cost in the range of 300–800 € kWh −1 (or even less) and a LCOS ranging as 0.1–0.5 € kWh −1 cycles −1 [23, 24].
