Utility Scale Energy Storage Systems. D. Gotham, D. Nderitu, P. Preckel. Published 2013. Engineering, Environmental Science. Executive Summary An important characteristic of electricity is that electrical energy cannot be stored directly. Thus, the supply of electricity must be balanced continuously with the demand for it.
READ MOREProjected Utility-Scale BESS Costs: Future cost projections for utility-scale BESS are based on a synthesis of cost projections for 4-hour duration systems as described by (Cole and Karmakar, 2023). The share of energy and power costs for batteries is assumed to be the same as that described in the Storage Futures Study (Augustine and Blair, 2021) .
