Can energy storage technologies help a cost-effective electricity system decarbonization?

Other work has indicated that energy storage technologies with longer storage durations, lower energy storage capacity costs and the ability to decouple power and energy capacity scaling could enable cost-effective electricity system decarbonization with all energy supplied by VRE 8, 9, 10.

Can energy capacity and discharge power capacity be varied independently?

In our exploration of the LDES design space it was assumed that the three scaling dimensions, that is, energy capacity, discharge power capacity and charge power capacity, can be varied independently, even though all three degrees of freedom are not possible for certain technologies.

Are lithium-ion batteries a good choice for energy storage?

Lithium-ion batteries are being widely deployed in vehicles, consumer electronics, and more recently, in electricity storage systems. These batteries have, and will likely continue to have, relatively high costs per kWh of electricity stored, making them unsuitable for long-duration storage that may be needed to support reliable decarbonized grids.

What are the performance parameters of energy storage capacity?

Our findings show that energy storage capacity cost and discharge efficiency are the most important performance parameters. Charge/discharge capacity cost and charge efficiency play secondary roles. Energy capacity costs must be ≤US$20 kWh –1 to reduce electricity costs by ≥10%.

Does storage reduce electricity cost?

Storage can reduce the cost of electricity for developing country economies while providing local and global environmental benefits. Lower storage costs increase both electricity cost savings and environmental benefits.
