Economics of Energy Storage. The past decade has seen a rapid decline in the cost of energy storage technologies — in particular, costs of lithium-ion battery energy storage systems (BESS) have dropped 70% since 2012, and are forecasted to drop below the $200/kWh (€160/kWg) threshold by 2019. This precipitous decline has made the
READ MOREResults for batteries show the lowest total costs of 2750 €/kW for sodium-sulfur (NaS). Following is lead-acid with 5409 €/kW, nickel-cadmium 6479 €/kW and the most expensive investment costs for large storage systems of 6823 €/kW is for lithium-ion. Total capital costs in €/kWh are given in Fig. 2.
READ MOREThe PCS costs range between 165 and 581 €/kW. The energy storage costs are more expensive and range between 470 and 1249 €/kWh. The overhead costs can be estimated, on average, at 80 €/kW. The fixed operation and maintenance costs are estimated, on average, at 6.9 €/kW per year.

READ MORESolar and wind energy are being rapidly integrated into electricity grids around the world. As renewables penetration increases beyond 80%, electricity grids will require long-duration energy storage or flexible, low-carbon electricity generation to meet demand and help keep electricity prices low. Here, we evaluate the costs of applicable
