6 FAQs about [Land cost composition of energy storage projects]
Which energy storage technologies are included in the 2020 cost and performance assessment?
The 2020 Cost and Performance Assessment provided installed costs for six energy storage technologies: lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, lead-acid batteries, vanadium redox flow batteries, pumped storage hydro, compressed-air energy storage, and hydrogen energy storage.
Are recycling and decommissioning included in the cost and performance assessment?
Recycling and decommissioning are included as additional costs for Li-ion, redox flow, and lead-acid technologies. The 2020 Cost and Performance Assessment analyzed energy storage systems from 2 to 10 hours. The 2022 Cost and Performance Assessment analyzes storage system at additional 24- and 100-hour durations.
Why are chemical storage systems so expensive?
Chemical storage systems also present relatively high power capacity cost due to the infrastructure required for the chemical processes and the cost of combustion power plants or fuel cells to convert stored chemical energy back to electricity.
Why is it important to compare energy storage technologies?
As demand for energy storage continues to grow and evolve, it is critical to compare the costs and performance of different energy storage technologies on an equitable basis.
How much does geomechanical energy storage cost?
Geomechanical energy storage, which pumps water undergound to store energy in the elastic compression of rock formations, may achieve costs in the $50/kWh range, suitable for diurnal applications, but would need significantly lower costs to capture significant market share as a LDES technology.
Is electricity storage an economic solution?
Electricity storage is currently an economic solution of-grid in solar home systems and mini-grids where it can also increase the fraction of renewable energy in the system to as high as 100% (IRENA, 2016c). The same applies in the case of islands or other isolated grids that are reliant on diesel-fired electricity (IRENA, 2016a; IRENA, 2016d).
