Impact of different types of utility scale energy storage systems was studied by PLEXOS model. Pumped storage hydro power is expected to share with 3.7 % by 2050. Hydrogen energy storage system is expected to have the lowest (LCOS).
Projected Utility-Scale BESS Costs: Future cost projections for utility-scale BESSs are based on a synthesis of cost projections for 4-hour-duration systems as described by (Cole and Karmakar, 2023). The share of energy and power costs for batteries is assumed to be the same as that described in the Storage Futures Study (Augustine and Blair
