Building on the momentum from part 1 of our series where we examined the wide-ranging behind-the-meter (BTM) and in-front-of-the-meter (IFTM) uses for stationary storage, we're now shifting focus to investigate a crucial techno-economic factor in stationary storage: the Levelized Cost of Storage (LCOS), as well as it’s “little brother” the Annuitized Capacity Cost (ACC). Brought to you by our expert stationary storage expert
My big issue with this approach is that the number of cycles per year has an outside influence on the result, and is a system property, not a technology specific property. It makes comparisons very hard as you have to basically go back to the root assumptions (which you may not be given) and normalize for an appropriate charge cycle.
