Why is LCoS important for lithium batteries?

Even for the year 2030, the LCOS is significantly reduced, capital expenditures continue to predominate, while the residual value represents an important role in the economic income at the end of the project life. This article presents a Levelized Cost of Storage (LCOS) analysis for lithium batteries in different applications.

What is LCoS & LCOE?

For most stakeholders, Levelized Cost Of Storage (LCOS) and Levelized Cost Of Energy (LCOE) offer the greatest flexibility in comparing between technologies and use cases, are the most comprehensive methods, and are closest to realized value. As the leading supplier of vanadium flow batteries, we’re often asked what LCOS means.

What is the LCoS for a new Bess?

The harmonized LCOS for new BESS predicts a mean value of 211 ($/MWh). The mean TCC across the new BESS is 312 ($/kWh). The capacity factor is based on the nominal capacity and is a function of calendar degradation rates and DoD. The range of degradation rates results in a nominal capacity factor of 10.0–11.5%.

What is the IQR of LCoS compared to Bess?

The difference between the first and third IQR of LCOS is 72–75 ($/MWh) in second-life BESS compared to 45 ($/MWh) for BESS. The standard deviations for the two populations are 56.8 and 47.3 for second-life and new BESS, respectively, though the new BESS sample size is significantly smaller.
