Who likes a nice animation? 🤓🔋 Here you find out when lithium-ion batteries will be the most competitive for providing peak capacity (PC)... Or when is hydrogen becomes the best for integrating renewables (RE)? Let's walk through the cheapest storage technologies over time. 1⃣ Colours represent the technologies with the lowest lifetime cost. 2⃣ The axes show discharge duration and cycling frequency. They cover the whole spectrum from second-by-second balancing applications (bottom right) up to inter-seasonal storage (top left), and everything in between. 3⃣ Shading indicates how strong the cost advantage is over the second cheapest technology. The evolution of this competitive landscape is based on projected reductions in investment costs over time. These come from statistically-derived which are published in Monetizing Energy Storage: Wonder what it would look like if pumped hydro is not an option? Or where and when a radically new, better technology would fit into this mix? Explore these questions and more on Get in touch if this is of interest!
