The 2020 Cost and Performance Assessment analyzed energy storage systems from 2 to 10 hours. The 2022 Cost and Performance Assessment analyzes storage system at additional 24- and 100-hour durations.
The sum of all these elements is named the total life cycle cost of storage. It is usually expressed in an annualized form, LCCOS in €/kW-year, to give a yearly figure of the total life cycle cost of the storage technology.
Battke et al. reviewed the impact of uncertainty in the inputs on the life cycle costs of electro-chemical storage systems, focusing on four types of battery systems, lithium-ion, lead-acid, sodium-sulfur, and vanadium-redox flow . The review did not include mechanical, hydrogen, or thermal energy storage technologies.
We found that, because of economies of scale, the levelized cost of energy decreases with an increase in storage duration. In addition, performance parameters such as round-trip efficiency, cycle life, and cycle length highly influence the final costs and environmental footprints of various storage technologies.
With respect to these observations, the chemical storage is one of the promising options for long term storage of energy. From all these previous studies, this paper presents a complete evaluation of the energy (section 2) and economic (section 3) costs for the four selected fuels: H 2, NH 3, CH 4, and CH 3 OH.
