Executive Summary In this work we describe the development of cost and performance projections for utility-scale lithium-ion battery systems, with a focus on 4-hour duration
The cost and prices calculated in previous sections are only valid for small production quantities. Therefore the current cost of goods sold for automotive NMC battery packs will be used as a baseline, which is around 300 dollar/kWh according to literature [54, 66, 67].
Battery storage costs have evolved rapidly over the past several years, necessitating an update to storage cost projections used in long-term planning models and other activities. This work documents the development of these projections, which are based on recent publications of storage costs.
NMC based batteries can be seen as the current state of the art batteries and silicon based ones as state of the art batteries in 10–15 years as shown by the roadmap in Figure 4. Process-based cost modeling is used in order to calculate the detailed material cost in dollar/kWh for each battery type.
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.
The suite of publications demonstrates wide variation in projected cost reductions for battery storage over time. Figure ES-1 shows the suite of projected cost reductions (on a normalized basis) collected from the literature (shown in gray) as well as the low, mid, and high cost projections developed in this work (shown in black).
The US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has updated its long-term battery energy storage system (BESS) costs through to 2050.
