LFP battery system cost vs benefit calculation in Bangladesh

How do you compare a supertitan battery to a LFP battery?

Multiply the result by the average cost per kWh that the energy storage is replacing for an NPV per kWh. In the worksheet Excel, a SuperTitan battery of €420/kWh is compared with a LFP battery of €300kWh using the above red/blue discount rates. For an electricity cost of €0.15/kWh and a timeframe of 10 years, the results are:

What is the difference between LFP and NCM?

But for LFP the cathode can be up to 25% of the total costs. But for NCM, cathodes can be up to 40% of the total cost. LFP cost structure can better take advantage of economies of scale compared to NCM. The main cost contributors to a lithium ion battery cell are the cathode, the anode, the separator, and the electrolyte.

What is LFP cost structure?

As you can see by the graph, LFP cost structure can also better take advantage of economies of scale. The main cost contributors to a lithium ion battery cell are the cathode, the anode, the separator, and the electrolyte. For LFP, these four main contributors mainly make up about 50% of the total cost.

Do battery storage technologies use financial assumptions?

The battery storage technologies do not calculate levelized cost of energy (LCOE) or levelized cost of storage (LCOS) and so do not use financial assumptions. Therefore, all parameters are the same for the research and development (R&D) and Markets & Policies Financials cases.

What are base year costs for utility-scale battery energy storage systems?

Base year costs for utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are based on a bottom-up cost model using the data and methodology for utility-scale BESS in (Ramasamy et al., 2023). The bottom-up BESS model accounts for major components, including the LIB pack, the inverter, and the balance of system (BOS) needed for the installation.

Are lithium-based solutions cheaper than lead-acid solutions?

In summary, the total cost of ownership per usable kWh is about 2.8 times cheaper for a lithium-based solution than for a lead acid solution. We note that despite the higher facial cost of Lithium technology, the cost per stored and supplied kWh remains much lower than for Lead-Acid technology.
