The aim of this study is to identify and compare, from available literature, existing cost models for Battery energy storage systems (BESS). The study will focus on three different battery technologies: lithium-ion, lead-acid and vanadium flow. The study will also, from available literature, analyse and project future BESS cost development.
The technology for storing thermal energy as sensible heat, latent heat, or thermochemical energy has greatly evolved in recent years, and it is expected to grow up to about 10.1 billion US dollars by 2027. A thermal energy storage (TES) system can significantly improve industrial energy efficiency and eliminate the need for additional

Figure 2 A exhibits O&M cost and experience curves for onshore wind, showing that maintenance and repair costs per MWh are about five times higher than operations costs. In sum, onshore wind O&M cost decreased from an average 1.75 EUR ct 2017 /kWh in 2005 to 1.32 EUR ct 2017 /kWh in 2017, a reduction of 25% ( Figure 2 B).
Examples of operation and maintenance costs are fuel expenses, cost of plant and system maintenance, cost of power system operation, cost of storage, and plant decommissioning.
