Understand the investment and return of containerized battery energy storage systems. Our cost analysis explores the financial benefits and potential ROI for your energy storage solutions.
Lead-acid batteries, which are still the most used energy storage technology in Africa, are expensive to store due to the maintenance required whether they are in use or stored in a warehouse. These costs, added to the relatively high capex, result in risk aversion and consequently to not hold large stocks of batteries.
Despite their relatively lower energy density, moderate efficiency, and higher maintenance demands, lead-acid batteries offer the advantage of a prolonged lifespan, cost-effectiveness, and a well-established, mature technology foundation compared to other battery types (Townsend and Gouws 2022).
The forecasted cost reductions of small-scale Li-ion systems is therefore expected to displace lead-acid batteries over time. At present, and over the coming decade,the high cost of small-scale Li-ion system appears to be prohibitive in improving the cost and performance of small mini-grids.
This is due to the forecasted 22% lower cost of lead-acid batteries . These cases illustrate that the potential in cost reduction for lead-acid batteries is small and has a small potential to reduce LCOE in future small scale mini -grids.
The recycling of lead-acid batteries is relatively successful, with very high shares of all batteries collected and sent for refurbishment or recycling. This is in part due to the profitable nature of lead recovery and recycling for batteries.
The techno-economic simulation output provided that the system with Li-ion battery resulted in a Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) of 0.32 €/kWh compared to the system with lead-acid battery with LCOE of 0.34 €/kWh.
