What are base year costs for utility-scale battery energy storage systems?

Base year costs for utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are based on a bottom-up cost model using the data and methodology for utility-scale BESS in (Ramasamy et al., 2023). The bottom-up BESS model accounts for major components, including the LIB pack, the inverter, and the balance of system (BOS) needed for the installation.

What generating technologies are used in a utility-scale generating system?

Table 1 summarizes updated cost estimates for reference case utility–scale generating technologies specifically two powered by coal, five by natural gas, three by solar energy and by wind, two by uranium, and one each by hydroelectric, biomass, geothermal, and battery storage.
