In this article, the investment cost of an energy storage system that can be put into commercial use is composed of the power component investment cost, energy storage media investment cost, EPC cost, and BOP cost. The cost of the investment is calculated by the following equation: (1) CAPEX = C P × Cap + C E × Cap × Dur + C EPC + C BOP
The total investment cost consists of the EPC cost, EPC contracting fees and owner's costs. For conventional power plants, EPC costs include mechanical system costs, electric system costs, civil costs, and indirect costs.
Investment decisions Energy storage can affect investment in power generation by reducing the need for peaker plants and transmission and distribution upgrades, thereby lowering the overall cost of electricity generation and delivery.
This study shows that battery electricity storage systems offer enormous deployment and cost-reduction potential. By 2030, total installed costs could fall between 50% and 60% (and battery cell costs by even more), driven by optimisation of manufacturing facilities, combined with better combinations and reduced use of materials.
Energy storage has the potential to play a crucial role in the future of the power sector. However, significant research and development efforts are needed to improve storage technologies, reduce costs, and increase efficiency.
The paper presents a cost comparison of thermal storage power plants (TSPP) with various conventional power plants. TSPP require less fuel and can better fulfill the demand of variable and intermittent residual loads through providing a much higher flexibility with their intrinsic heat storage system, also called Carnot Battery.
