The results indicated that mechanical energy storage systems, namely PHS and CAES, are still the most cost-efficient options for bulk energy storage. PHS and CAES approximately add 54 and 71 €/MWh respectively, to the cost of charging power. The project׳s environmental permitting costs and contingency may increase the costs, however.
In terms of TCC (total capital cost), underground CAES (with 890 €/kW) offers the most economical alternative for bulk energy storage, while SMES and SCES are the cheapest options in power quality applications. However, the cost data for these electro-magnetic EES systems are rather limited and for small-scale applications.
They are priced according to five different power ratings to provide a relevant system comparison and a more precise estimate. The power rating of an energy storage system impacts system pricing, where larger systems are typically lower in cost (on a $/kWh basis) than smaller ones due to volume purchasing, etc.
Non-battery systems, on the other hand, range considerably more depending on duration. Looking at 100 MW systems, at a 2-hour duration, gravity-based energy storage is estimated to be over $1,100/kWh but drops to approximately $200/kWh at 100 hours.
Construction is scheduled to begin in 2025, with completion expected by 2028, followed by a two-year warranty period.
