Jun 1, 2024 · The application analysis reveals that battery energy storage is the most cost-effective choice for durations of <2 h, while thermal energy storage is competitive for durations
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.
Informing the viable application of electricity storage technologies, including batteries and pumped hydro storage, with the latest data and analysis on costs and performance. Energy storage technologies, store energy either as electricity or heat/cold, so it can be used at a later time.
The application analysis reveals that battery energy storage is the most cost-effective choice for durations of <2 h, while thermal energy storage is competitive for durations of 2.3–8 h. Pumped hydro storage and compressed-air energy storage emerges as the superior options for durations exceeding 8 h.
Through a comparative analysis of different energy storage technologies in various time scale scenarios, we identify diverse economically viable options. Sensitivity analysis reveals the possible impact on economic performance under conditions of near-future technological progress.
When the storage duration is 1 day, thermal energy storage exhibits the best economic performance among all energy storage technologies, with a cost of <0.4 CNY/kWh. Even with increased storage durations, the economic performance of TES and CAES remains considerable. Fig. 8. Economic performance under the day-level energy storage scenario.
Sensitivity analysis reveals the possible impact on economic performance under conditions of near-future technological progress.
