Current and projected costs for installation, operation, maintenance, and replacement of storage systems.
This report describes development of an effort to assess Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) performance that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) and others can employ to evaluate performance of deployed BESS or solar photovoltaic (PV) +BESS systems.
Storage provides one potential source of flexibility. Batteries have previously shown to be an economically effective energy storage solution. BESSs are modular systems that may be housed in conventional shipping containers. Until recently, high costs and low round trip efficiency hindered the widespread use of battery energy storage systems.
This analysis identifies optimal storage technologies, quantifies costs, and develops strategies to maximize value from energy storage investments. Energy demand and generation profiles, including peak and off-peak periods.
The key conclusion of the research is that deployment of energy storage has the potential to increase significantly—reaching at least five times today’s capacity by 2050—and storage will likely play an integral role in determining the cost-optimal grid mix of the future.
