Base year costs for utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) are based on a bottom-up cost model using the data and methodology for utility-scale BESS in (Ramasamy et al., 2022). 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.
Thermal energy storage (TES) refers to technologies that can store heat for later use. Some TES technologies use electricity to generate heat and store the heat until it is converted back to electricity, while other TES store and release heat directly without converting to and from electricity.
