In this work we describe the development of cost and performance projections for utility-scale lithium-ion battery systems, with a focus on 4-hour duration systems. The projections are developed from an analysis of recent publications that include utility-scale storage . . The Energy Storage Grand Challenge (ESGC) is a crosscutting effort managed by the Department of Energy's Research Technology Investment Committee. The project team would like to acknowledge the support, guidance, and management of Paul Spitsen from the DOE Office of Strategic Analysis, ESGC Policy. . This report is available at no cost from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) at www. Cole, Wesley and Akash Karmakar. . We received 30 responses, covering 2. 8 GW of battery energy storage projects - with commissioning dates from 2024 to 2028. This analysis identifies optimal storage technologies, quantifies costs, and develops strategies to maximize value from energy storage investments. Energy. . The 270 MW Iowa Stored Energy Park (estimated at a total cost of $1,480/kW), which would have been the third CAES plant, was discontinued in 2011 due to the storage reservoir ultimately being unsuitable for the envisioned scale of the project (Aquino, Zuelch, & Koss, 2017; Schulte, 2011).
