How much does energy storage cost?

For different types of energy storage, the initial investment varies greatly. At present, the investment cost of a pumped storage power station is about 878–937 million USD/GW, which is far higher than that of a battery storage power station, and is closely related to location.

What is the initial cost of an energy storage power station?

In general, the initial cost of an energy storage power station mainly includes the investment cost of the energy storage unit, power conversion unit, and other investment costs such as labor and service costs for initial installation. The specific calculations of these three parts used the formulas in Appendix 2 of literature [ 29 ].

Which energy storage type has the largest installed capacity?

Pumped storage, as the most mature energy storage type with the largest installed capacity, has always received a great deal of attention. At the same time, the high-efficiency battery power station also has a broad application prospect for a reduced cost. Figure 1. Geographical locations of the two selected power stations.

How much does a pumped storage power station cost?

At present, the investment cost of a pumped storage power station is about 878–937 million USD/GW, which is far higher than that of a battery storage power station, and is closely related to location. For battery energy storage, the initial cost mainly depends on different materials.

Are energy storage investors moving to state-owned enterprises (SOEs)?

This implies a major shift in energy storage investors to state-owned enterprises (SOEs) from power grid companies such as China Energy, Huaneng, Huadian, and State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC) .

Do energy storage power stations have a risk of loss?

However, no matter how the energy storage power station participates in the electricity market, the IRR of both power stations does not exceed 10%. This means that there is always a risk of loss in the investment of energy storage power stations.
