Using the detailed NREL cost models for LIB, we develop base year costs for a 60-megawatt (MW) BESS with storage durations of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 hours, (Cole and Karmakar, 2023). Base year installed capital costs for BESSs decrease with duration (for direct storage, measured in $/kWh) whereas system costs (in $/kW) increase.
Base year costs for utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are based on a bottom-up cost model using the data and methodology for utility-scale BESS in (Ramasamy et al., 2023). The bottom-up BESS model accounts for major components, including the LIB pack, the inverter, and the balance of system (BOS) needed for the installation.
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.
With the falling costs of solar PV and wind power technologies, the focus is increasingly moving to the next stage of the energy transition and an energy systems approach, where energy storage can help integrate higher shares of solar and wind power.
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.

$/kWh. However, not all components of the battery system cost scale directly with the energy capacity (i.e., kWh) of the system (Feldman et al. 2021). For example, the inverter costs scale according to the power capacity (i.e., kW) of the system, and some cost components such as the developer costs can scale with both power and energy. By ...

Watts (W) is a unit of power used to quantify the rate of energy transfer. It is defined as 1 joule per second. A kilowatt is a multiple of a watt. One kilowatt (kW) is equal to 1,000 watts. Both watts and kilowatts are SI units of power and are the most common units of power used. Kilowatt-hours (kWh) are a unit of energy. One kilowatt-hour is ...
