Calculating the ROI of battery storage systems requires a comprehensive understanding of initial costs, operational and maintenance costs, and revenue streams or savings over the system''s lifespan.
MWh (Megawatt-hour) is a measure of energy capacity (how long the system can continue delivering that power output). For example, a 1 MW / 4 MWh BESS has four hours of storage capacity.So, while the system might be $200,000 per MW, the effective cost can be $800,000 per MWh if it has four hours duration.
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.
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.
Usable energy divided by power rating (in MW) reflects hourly duration of system. This analysis reflects common practice in the market whereby batteries are upsized in year one to 110% of nameplate capacity (e.g., a 100 MWh battery actually begins project life with 110 MWh).
Cost structure representative of the “Average Case” is used in the IRR analysis and shown in the LCOS summary. Average amount of time deployed in given revenue stream during 2022. Sum of time deployed may exceed 100% because battery can participate in multiple revenue streams simultaneously.
The Storage Futures Study report (Augustine and Blair, 2021) indicates NREL, BloombergNEF (BNEF), and others anticipate the growth of the overall battery industry—across the consumer electronics sector, the transportation sector, and the electric utility sector—will lead to cost reductions in the long term.
