In this work we describe the development of cost and performance projections for utility-scale lithium-ion battery systems, with a focus on 4-hour duration systems. The projections are
Discharge time is the amount of time a storage technology can maintain its output. A one MW battery that has a discharge time of five hours can provide five MWh of energy.
Graph of typical energy storage capacity compared to typical discharge duration for various geologic and nongeologic energy storage methods.
Finding the perfect match between energy storage capacity and discharge time is like dating – you want enough chemistry to last the night, but not so intense it burns out by
To evaluate the technical, economic, and operational feasibility of implementing energy storage systems while assessing their lifecycle costs. This analysis identifies optimal storage
Different technologies such as lithium-ion batteries, pumped hydro storage, and flywheels have distinct pricing structures influenced by their operational characteristics and life
While large-scale systems are costly, government incentives make adopting the technology viable, and small residential-scale battery banks in garages or utility-wide storage
Graph of typical energy storage capacity compared to typical discharge duration for various geologic and nongeologic energy storage methods. Oval sizes are estimated based on current

The price is the expected installed capital cost of an energy storage system. Because the capital cost of these systems will vary depending on the power (kW) and energy (kWh) rating of the system, a range of system prices is provided. 2. Evolving System Prices
An energy storage system capable of serving long durations could be used for short durations, too. Recharging after a short usage period could ultimately affect the number of full cycles before performance declines. Likewise, keeping a longer-duration system at a full charge may not make sense.
If the grid has a very high load for eight hours and the storage only has a 6-hour duration, the storage system cannot be at full capacity for eight hours. So, its ELCC and its contribution will only be a fraction of its rated power capacity. An energy storage system capable of serving long durations could be used for short durations, too.
Energy demand and generation profiles, including peak and off-peak periods. Technical specifications and costs for storage technologies (e.g., lithium-ion batteries, pumped hydro, thermal storage). Current and projected costs for installation, operation, maintenance, and replacement of storage systems.
