What are EPC fees?
EPC fees are applied to the sum of direct and indirect costs. 2. Owner’s costs include project development, studies, permitting, legal, owner’s project management, owner’s engineering, and owner’s start-up and commissioning costs. Other owner’s costs include electrical interconnection costs, gas interconnection costs, and land acquisition costs.
Which energy storage technologies are included in the cost and performance assessment?
The Cost and Performance Assessment provided installed costs for six energy storage technologies: lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, lead-acid batteries, vanadium redox flow batteries, pumped storage hydro, compressed-air energy storage, and hydrogen energy storage.
What are EPC costs based on a contracting approach?
1. Costs based on EPC contracting approach. Direct costs include equipment, material, and labor to construct the civil/structural, mechanical, and electrical/I&C components of the facility. Indirect costs include engineering, construction management, start-up, and commissioning. EPC fees are applied to the sum of direct and indirect costs. 2.
How long does an energy storage system last?
The Cost and Performance Assessment analyzed energy storage systems from 2 to 10 hours. The Cost and Performance Assessment analyzes storage system at additional 24- and 100-hour durations.
How does an EPC contract work for energy storage projects?
When developing an energy storage project, a project owner can engage an EPC contractor to provide a fully-wrapped EPC agreement that will encompass the procurement, installation, and commissioning of batteries. In many cases, however, owners will contract directly with battery suppliers for battery supply and commissioning.
Are battery storage costs based on long-term planning models?
Battery storage costs have evolved rapidly over the past several years, necessitating an update to storage cost projections used in long-term planning models and other activities. This work documents the development of these projections, which are based on recent publications of storage costs.
