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.
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.
For battery energy storage systems (BESS), the analysis was done for systems with rated power of 1, 10, and 100 megawatts (MW), with duration of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 hours. For PSH, 100 and 1,000 MW systems at 4- and 10-hour durations were considered. For CAES, in addition to these power and duration levels, 10,000 MW was also considered.
The 10 MW system cost was provided by vendors directly and estimates for the 1 MW and 100 MW system were calculated using a cost decrease for 10x increase in MW capacity, where 10 MW is used as the baseline (Raiford, 2020b). Conversely, cost increases for a 10x decrease in MW was also employed for this study.
Therefore, efforts to reduce cost of storage via engineering design are expected to gain traction. As long-duration energy storage (diurnal and seasonal) becomes more relevant, it is important to quantify cost for incremental storage in the cavern. The incremental cost for CAES storage is estimated to be $0.12/kWh.
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.
