Energy Storage Economics Emma Elgqvist National Renewable Energy Laboratory August 17, 2017 NREL/PR-7A40-70035 NREL is a national laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy,
In this article, the investment cost of an energy storage system that can be put into commercial use is composed of the power component investment cost, energy storage media investment cost, EPC cost, and BOP cost. The cost of the investment is calculated by the following equation: (1) CAPEX = C P × Cap + C E × Cap × Dur + C EPC + C BOP
An economic analysis of energy storage systems should clearly articulate what components are included in the scope of cost. The major components of an energy storage system are batteries, power conversion system, transformer, switchgear, and monitoring and control. The schematic below shows these components.
The economics of energy storage systems is dependent on the services and markets that exist on the electrical grid. These value streams can vary by region, electrical system, and grid domain (i.e., transmission, distribution, customer-sited).
It involves dividing all expenses (including capital expenditures and operation and maintenance costs throughout the system's lifetime N) by the amount of energy discharged by the storage system, Eout, over the same period. The capital cost and energy output are adjusted for the time value of money using the discount rate.
Schmidt et al. established an experience curve data set and analyzed and predicted the energy storage cost based on experience rates by analyzing the cumulative installed nominal capacity and cumulative investment, among others.
is the capture of energy produced at one time for use at a later time. Without adequate energy storage, maintaining the stability of an electric grid req ires precise matching of electricity supply and demand at every moment. In case of short-run changes on either side, a centralized entity called the System Operator
