READ MOREUtility-scale battery storage systems'' capacity ranges from a few megawatt-hours (MWh) to hundreds of MWh. Different battery storage technologies like lithium-ion (Li-ion), sodium sulfur, and lead acid batteries can be used for grid applications. Recent years have seen most of the market growth dominated by in Li-ion batteries [ 2, 3 ].
READ MOREThe cost of capital expresses the expected financial return, or the minimum required rate, for investing in a company or a project. This expected return is closely linked with the degree of risk associated with a company or project cash flows. Another way of referring to the cost of capital is to talk about "financing costs" or the
