6 FAQs about [National Phase Change Energy Storage System Cost]
Which energy storage technologies are included in the 2020 cost and performance assessment?
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.
What is the future of energy storage?
In addition to the U.S. government’s climate goals, the growth of electric vehicle usage, increased deployment of variable renewable generation, and declining costs of storage technologies are among other drivers of expected future growth of the energy storage market.
Are thermal energy storage decommissioning costs considered a present value?
Additionally, given their long calendar life, decommissioning costs are considered to be very small on a present value basis. Thermal energy storage also benefits from easy recyclability of power equipment and for most of the thermal SB. For these reasons, decommissioning costs are not considered in this analysis.
Why is it important to compare energy storage technologies?
As demand for energy storage continues to grow and evolve, it is critical to compare the costs and performance of different energy storage technologies on an equitable basis.
Are energy storage systems cost estimates accurate?
The cost estimates provided in the report are not intended to be exact numbers but reflect a representative cost based on ranges provided by various sources for the examined technologies. The analysis was done for energy storage systems (ESSs) across various power levels and energy-to-power ratios.
What are the different types of energy storage costs?
The cost categories used in the report extend across all energy storage technologies to allow ease of data comparison. Direct costs correspond to equipment capital and installation, while indirect costs include EPC fee and project development, which include permitting, preliminary engineering design, and the owner’s engineer and financing costs.
