Vojislav R. Stamenkovic W hen Gaston Planté invented the lead–acid battery more than 160 years ago, he could not have fore-seen it spurring a multibillion-dol-lar industry.
The Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) market has experienced significant growth in recent years, driven by the increasing adoption of renewable energy and grid
For NMC systems, the cost range was $325–$520/kWh. Total project costs varied from $722–$1,383/kWh; some of these variations could be due to chemistry, some due to C&C costs, and others due to project size. Lead-acid batteries had a much tighter cost range in most of the reviewed literature.
Lead-acid batteries are a mature technology, especially in the context of Starting, Lighting Ignition batteries used in automobiles. Hence, a 15 percent cost reduction is assumed as this technology gains penetration in the energy storage space. Table 4.2. Ratio of year 2018 to 2025 costs. (Source: DNV GL 2016)
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are becoming essential in the shift towards renewable energy, providing solutions for grid stability, energy management, and power quality. However, understanding the costs associated with BESS is critical for anyone considering this technology, whether for a home, business, or utility scale.
For longer-term storage, PSH and CAES give the lowest cost in $/kWh if an E/P ratio of 16 is used at $165/kWh and $104/kWh, respectively, inclusive of BOP and C&C costs, while their cost is $660/kWh and $417/kWh, respectively at an E/P ratio of 4.1 Hence, even at the low E/P ratio of 4, they are competitive with battery storage technologies.
While the RTE for these batteries is low, there is room for improvement with stack optimization and better flow battery management algorithms. While lead-acid batteries are low cost with high TRLs and MRLs, their cycle life is limited, leading to a usable life of less than 3 years assuming one cycle per day.
The costs of delivery and installation are calculated on a volume ratio of 6:1 for Lithium system compared to a lead-acid system. This assessment is based on the fact that the lithium-ion has an energy density of 3.5 times Lead-Acid and a discharge rate of 100% compared to 50% for AGM batteries.
