The study presents mean values on the levelized cost of storage (LCOS) metric based on several existing cost estimations and market data on energy storage regarding three different battery technologies: lithium ion, lead-acid and vanadium flow. These values are intended to serve as benchmarks for BESS costs of today.
However, the LCOS is as of today the only model for estimating costs of a battery storage system over its entire life time. As stated in the report, another way of estimating and comparing costs of a battery storage system is to focus on the specific investment costs to install a system based on system size and characteristics.
