The Ni-H battery shows energy density of ∼140 Wh kg −1 (based on active materials) with excellent rechargeability over 1,500 cycles. The low energy cost of ∼$83 kWh −1 based on active materials achieves the DOE target of $100 kWh −1, which makes it promising for the large-scale energy storage application.
However, in some cases, the continued decline of wind and solar costs could negatively impact storage value, which could create pressure to reduce storage costs in order to remain cost-effective. "It is a common perception that battery storage and wind and solar power are complementary," says Sepulveda.

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., 2021). The bottom-up BESS model accounts for major components, including the LIB pack, inverter, and the balance of system (BOS) needed for the installation.
Unlike residential energy storage systems, whose technical specifications are expressed in kilowatts, utility-scale battery storage is measured in megawatts (1 megawatt = 1,000 kilowatts). A typical residential solar battery will be rated to provide around 5 kilowatts of power. It can store between 10 and 15 kilowatt-hours of usable …
