When considering energy storage costs, it’s crucial to take both capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operational expenditure (OPEX) into account. CAPEX includes the cost of the battery system itself, installation, permits, and other infrastructure needed for the system’s operation.

Are there models for estimating battery energy storage costs?

The aim of this study is to identify existing models for estimating costs of battery energy storage systems(BESS) for both behind the meter and in-front of the meter applications. The study will, from available literature, analyse and project future BESS cost development.
