The vast majority of grid battery capacity is located in just a few states. More than half of it is based in California alone. California''s recent battery storage growth can be explained by its high solar penetration rate. In 2022, utility-scale solar made up just under 20% of total electricity generation in the state.
This is only a start: McKinsey modeling for the study suggests that by 2040, LDES has the potential to deploy 1.5 to 2.5 terawatts (TW) of power capacity—or eight to 15 times the total energy-storage capacity deployed today—globally. Likewise, it could deploy 85 to 140 terawatt-hours (TWh) of energy capacity by 2040 and store up to 10

Associate Professor Fikile Brushett (left) and Kara Rodby PhD ''22 have demonstrated a modeling framework that can help guide the development of flow batteries for large-scale, long-duration electricity storage on a future grid dominated by intermittent solar and wind power generators.
We''ve modeled a 6% discount rate over a 40 year project life. The LCOS for the two systems are quite different ($111/MWh for the VFB vs $131/MWh for the Li-ion), and the composition of that cost varies as shown in figure 3. Figure 3.

Grid-scale battery costs can be measured in $/kW or $/kWh terms. Thinking in kW terms is more helpful for modelling grid resiliency. A good rule of thumb is that grid-scale lithium ion batteries will have 4-hours of storage duration, as this minimizes per kW costs and maximizes the revenue potential from power price arbitrage. $749.00

Battery storage costs on the rise. Enormous demand for Li-ion batteries in IT devices and EVs has spurred enormous investment in technological innovation and large-scale manufacture. This helped to push prices from $1,200/kWh in 2010 to $132/kWh in 2021 – an 89% fall, according to BNEF. That trend has now gone into reverse.

No current technology fits the need for long duration, and currently lithium is the only major technology attempted as cost-effective solution. Lead is a viable solution, if cycle life is increased. Other technologies like flow need to lower cost, already allow for +25 years use (with some O&M of course).
Introducing Megapack: Utility-Scale Energy Storage.
