Interviews with ESS developers by CEA at the event revealed pricing for DC containers had dropped again, with average pricing at US$150/kWh. Aggressive bids from Tier II/III suppliers seeking to gain a foothold in the US were even lower, which raises the question as to whether current pricing is sustainable.
The proposed energy management process not only minimizes operational costs and emissions, but also determines the optimal battery size for the energy storage system. The analysis also explores the importance of two critical variables - the operation and maintenance costs of the DGs, and the total daily cost of the battery energy storage system
The introduction of smart charging and V2G can have an impact even on seasonal energy storage as was found by Child et al.
