Sensitivity analysis reveals the possible impact on economic performance under conditions of near-future technological progress. The application analysis reveals that battery energy storage is the most cost-effective choice for durations of <2 h, while thermal energy storage is competitive for durations of 2.3–8 h.
When the storage duration is 1 day, thermal energy storage exhibits the best economic performance among all energy storage technologies, with a cost of <0.4 CNY/kWh. Even with increased storage durations, the economic performance of TES and CAES remains considerable. Fig. 8. Economic performance under the day-level energy storage scenario.
The 2020 Cost and Performance Assessment provided installed costs for six energy storage technologies: lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, lead-acid batteries, vanadium redox flow batteries, pumped storage hydro, compressed-air energy storage, and hydrogen energy storage.
By means of technical economics, the potential value and development prospects of energy storage technologies can be revealed from the perspective of investors or decision-makers to better facilitate the deployment and progress of energy storage technologies.
