Energy storage construction labor price

Which energy storage technologies are included in the 2020 cost and performance assessment?

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.

What are the cost parameters for a commercial Li-ion energy storage system?

Commercial Li-ion Energy Storage System: Modeled Cost Parameters in Intrinsic Units Min. state of charge (SOC) and max. SOC a Note that, for all values given in per square meter (m2) terms, the denominator refers to square meters of battery pack footprint. The representative system has 80 kWh/m2.

How long does an energy storage system last?

The 2020 Cost and Performance Assessment analyzed energy storage systems from 2 to 10 hours. The 2022 Cost and Performance Assessment analyzes storage system at additional 24- and 100-hour durations.

What are the benchmarks for PV & energy storage systems?

The benchmarks are bottom-up cost estimates of all major inputs to typical PV and energy storage system configurations and installation practices. Bottom-up costs are based on national averages and do not necessarily represent typical costs in all local markets.

Is site preparation a subcategory of labor cost?

a Site preparation is a subcategory of labor cost, so it is not shown in the cost breakdown chart. When PV and battery storage are co-located, the subsystems can be connected in either a dc-coupled or an ac-coupled configuration (Figure 24).

How much does a preconstruction survey cost per acre?

In the top panel of Figure 5, the high 2022 preconstruction survey material cost of $45 per acre is excluded, and the remaining 2017–2021 costs ($19, $22, $23, $24, and $35 per acre) are averaged to yield an MSP for this component of $24 per acre.
