Abstract This report defines and evaluates cost and performance parameters of six battery energy storage technologies (BESS) (lithium-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, redox flow batteries,
To validate our model outputs, we compare our base case to other LCOS models of VRFBs in the open literature. Lazard's annual levelized cost of storage analysis is a useful source for costs of various energy storage systems, and, in 2018, reported levelized VRFB costs in the range of 293–467 $ MWh −1 (for mid-scale systems ~10 MWh) .
The 2020 Cost and Performance Assessment provided installed costs for six energy storage technologies: lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, lead-acid batteries, vanadium redox flow batteries, pumped storage hydro, compressed-air energy storage, and hydrogen energy storage.
While more detailed treatments of membrane performance within the environment of an operating cell as well as the effects of application-specific cycling need to be contemplated, this initial analysis suggests that reducing membrane cost rather than improving selectivity will have a greater effect on VRFB LCOS.
In contrast, VRFBs can be rebalanced to restore lost capacity without additional capital expenditure. Thus, while VRFBs have significantly higher capacity fade rates than state-of-the art Li-ion batteries, the resilience of the VRFB electrolyte may lead to cost savings over the project lifetime.
Running the partial rebalancing model with a capital cost of 410 $ kWh −1 (the mean value given by Lazard for VRFBs of this size) and all other baseline values, the LCOS for the baseline VRFB system determined by this model is 420 $ MWh −1. Using the lowest capital cost considered in this work (300 $ kWh −1) gives a LCOS of 350 $ MWh −1.
The primary method for recovering the lost capacity in VRFBs is termed rebalancing, where the negative and positive electrolytes are mixed to equilibrate the concentration of vanadium ions in each electrolyte. Rebalancing is generally performed once the accessible capacity drops to a predefined level that is determined by application requirements.
