The cost projections developed in this work utilize the normalized cost reductions across the literature, and result in 16-49% capital cost reductions by 2030 and 28-67% cost reductions by
The working group, themselves, also recognize certain shortcomings of the study: "The Panel recognizes that its approach – to estimate module and system costs for a range of
It''s integral to understanding the long-term value of a solution, including flow batteries. Diving into the specifics, the cost per kWh is calculated by taking the total costs of the battery system (equipment, installation, operation,
Flow battery target: 20 GW and 200 GWh worldwide by 2030 Flow batteries represent approximately 3-5% of the LDES market today, while the largest installed flow battery has 100 MW and 400 MWh of storage capacity. Based on this figure, 8 GW of flow batteries are projected to be installed globally by 2030 without additional policy support.
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.
Flow batteries also boast impressive longevity. In ideal conditions, they can withstand many years of use with minimal degradation, allowing for up to 20,000 cycles. This fact is especially significant, as it can directly affect the total cost of energy storage, bringing down the cost per kWh over the battery’s lifespan.
While this might appear steep at first, over time, flow batteries can deliver value due to their longevity and scalability. Operational expenditures (OPEX), on the other hand, are ongoing costs associated with the use of the battery. This includes maintenance, replacement parts, and energy costs for operation.
Existing commercial flow batteries (all-V, Zn-Br and Zn-Fe (CN) 6 batteries; USD$ > 170 (kW h) −1)) are still far beyond the DoE target (USD$ 100 (kW h) −1), requiring alternative systems and further improvements for effective market penetration.
However, the key to unlocking the potential of flow batteries lies in understanding their unique cost structure and capitalizing on their distinctive strengths. It’s clear that the cost per kWh of flow batteries may seem high at first glance. Yet, their long lifespan and scalability make them a cost-effective choice in the long run.
