What are the installation costs of lithium battery energy storage systems, such as battery packs, control systems, grid connections, etc.?
Battery
The battery pack is the core component of the lithium battery energy storage system, and its cost accounts for a large part of the installation cost of the entire system. The prices of battery packs of different types and capacities vary greatly. Generally speaking, the price of lithium-ion batteries ranges from US$0.50 to US$2 per kilowatt hour. In contrast, new anode materials such as lithium-sulfur and lithium-air batteries may cost more or less. Additionally, there are battery pack installation, maintenance and replacement costs to consider. For example, a 100-kilowatt-hour battery pack may cost between $50,000 and $100,000, with ongoing maintenance and replacement costs also needing to be considered.
Control System
The lithium battery energy storage system's control system needs to ensure the safe operation and efficient charging and discharging of the battery pack. This includes modules such as a battery management unit (BMS), charge controller, and discharge controller. The cost of control systems of different brands, performance and functions varies greatly. Generally speaking, the cost of the control system is between 5% and 10% of the total installed cost. For a $100,000 battery pack, the control system may cost between $5,000 and $10,000. In addition, the control system's installation, commissioning and maintenance costs need to be considered.
Grid connection
Lithium battery energy storage systems need to be connected to the grid to provide or receive power from the grid when needed. This involves installing and commissioning cables, junction boxes, protective devices and other equipment, as well as related approval and testing costs. The cost of grid connection varies depending on factors such as geographic location, cable length, connecting equipment, and more. Generally speaking, a grid connection costs 10% to 20% of the total installed cost. For a $100,000 battery pack, a grid connection may cost between $10,000 and $20,000.
Other auxiliary equipment and materials
Lithium battery energy storage systems also require other auxiliary equipment and materials, such as radiators, relays, fuses, cables, etc. The cost of these devices varies based on specific needs and brand. Generally speaking, other ancillary equipment and materials cost 5% to 10% of the total installed cost. For a $100,000 battery pack, the cost of other ancillary equipment and materials may range from $5,000 to $10,000.
It should be noted that the above data are for reference only, and the actual installation cost may vary depending on project size, technical requirements, geographical location and other factors. For example, installation costs may rise for a large energy storage project as more battery banks, longer cables, and more connected equipment are involved. Installation costs may rise for a more technically demanding project as more control system modules and more complex network connections are involved. Therefore, various factors must be considered when estimating the installation cost of a lithium battery energy storage system, and detailed analysis and calculations must be performed.
