Electricity storage is considered a key technology to enable low-carbon power systems. However, existing studies focus on investment cost. The future lifetime cost of different technologies (i.e., levelized cost of storage) that account for all relevant cost and performance parameters are still unexplored.
Levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) and levelized cost of storage (LCOS) represent the estimated costs required to build and operate a generator and diurnal storage, respectively, over a specified cost recovery period. Levelized avoided cost of electricity (LACE) is an estimate of the revenue available to that generator during the same period.
However, existing studies focus on investment cost. The future lifetime cost of different technologies (i.e., levelized cost of storage) that account for all relevant cost and performance parameters are still unexplored. This study projects application-specific lifetime cost for multiple electricity storage technologies.
ure cost are limited to investment cost of storage technologies only2,3. As a result, the future role of electricity storage is still perceived as highly uncertain4, despite remar le growth in deployment for distinct technologies and applications5,6. The levelized cost of storage (LCOS) quantifies the discounted cost per unit of d
The Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) is a crucial metric used to assess and compare the economic viability of different electricity generation technologies, including solar power plants.
