From a capacity cost perspective we observe that thermal storage offers the cheapest storage, then mechanical storage (excluding flywheels) and then battery power. Water heat storage is the cheapest option, but constrained to space
Given the nature of these storage assets, an energy capacity–based cost comparison is used as opposed to a power-based one. The results show that the Li-ion battery has the lowest total annualized $/kWh cost at approximately $74/kWh of any of the battery energy storage technologies. This is followed by zinc-hybrid cathode technology at $91/kWh-yr.
This study shows that battery electricity storage systems offer enormous deployment and cost-reduction potential. By 2030, total installed costs could fall between 50% and 60% (and battery cell costs by even more), driven by optimisation of manufacturing facilities, combined with better combinations and reduced use of materials.
For energy storage other technologies outperform batteries from a capacity cost perspective, and most are doable with existing technologies. Still capacity cost is significant when considering thousands of TerraWatt-hour of storage capacity, amounts that are reached easily for storage of conventional fossil fuels.
Forecast procedures are described in the main body of this report. C&C or engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) costs can be estimated using the footprint or total volume and weight of the battery energy storage system (BESS). For this report, volume was used as a proxy for these metrics.
However, electrochemical batteries show higher costs for storage compartment (up to 800 €/kWh for Li-ion). Hydrogen-based and underground CAES have lowest costs of storage, 4 and 40 €/kWh, respectively. More details of the cost elements are presented in Appendix A for each technology.
• On an annualized basis, Li-ion has the lowest total annualized $/kWh value of any of the battery energy storage technologies at $74/kWh, and ultracapacitors offer the lowest annualized $/kW value of the technologies included. An attempt was made to determine the cost breakdown among the various categories for PSH and CAES.
