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.
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.
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.
The real cost of energy storage is the life cycle cost (LCC) which is the amount of electricity stored and released divided by the total capital and operation cost. Li-ion batteries have a typical deep cycle life of about 3000 times, which translates into a life cycle cost more than $0.10 kWh −1, much higher the renewable electricity cost.
Today, an estimated 4.67 TWh of electricity storage exists. This number remains highly uncertain, however, given the lack of comprehensive statistics for renewable energy storage capacity in energy rather than power terms.
Non-battery systems, on the other hand, range considerably more depending on duration. Looking at 100 MW systems, at a 2-hour duration, gravity-based energy storage is estimated to be over $1,100/kWh but drops to approximately $200/kWh at 100 hours.
