How do installation complexities impact the overall cost of utility
Installation complexities significantly impact the overall cost of utility-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). These complexities arise from several factors, including the
The study also explores stand-alone use cases of BESS as a cost saving approach for data centres and any other large electrical load centres. The economic viability of BESS projects for these use cases was discussed and the results provide a framework for project developers to identify and develop BESS projects for their specific requirements.
The most important determinant of the installed cost of a BTM BESS is the overall scale of the system. By “scale”, I refer to the joint magnitude of the energy and power capacity, abstracted away from variation in discharge duration.
Thus, my preferred specification for predicting the installed cost of BTM BESS is as follows: (5) ln ( C i) = α t s + β 1 ln ( E i) + β 2 ln ( P i) + γ 1 ln ( E i) 2 + γ 2 ln ( P i) 2 + γ 3 ln ( E i) ln ( P i) + δ 1 A C i + δ 2 D C i + δ 3 ln ( w t c) + ɛ i
Co-located and standalone BESS projects represent two primary approaches to deploying battery energy storage systems, each with its unique advantages and challenges. Co-located BESS projects are installed alongside renewable energy generation facilities, such as solar or wind farms.
