READ MORESo, building out 140 TWh of short term storage (enough to stabilise the future electricity grid) requires a total 14 million tonnes of lithium. If all 1 billion cars on Earth were swapped for long range electric vehicles this would consume another 10 million tonnes (1 billion x 100 kWh x 100g lithium per kWh).
READ MOREThat said, as wind and solar get cheaper over time, that can reduce the value storage derives from lowering renewable energy curtailment and avoiding wind and solar capacity investments. Given the long-term cost declines projected for wind and solar, I think this is an important consideration for storage technology developers."
READ MORETo maximize long-term profits, it is necessary to balance short-term revenue when BESS participates in grid service and long-term battery life losses.
