Sodium-sulfur flow battery cost comparison

4 FAQs about Sodium-sulfur flow battery cost comparison

How much does a sodium-sulfur battery cost?

An average cost of $ 661/kWh was determined for 2018 sodium-sulfur costs, with a 2025 cost of $ 465/kWh assuming a decrease of 30 percent. Table 19 provides capital cost estimates for sodium-sulfur batteries from the literature. Table 19. Capital cost estimates—sodium-sulfur technology. 5.5.2. Fixed and Variable O&M Costs and Performance Metrics

What is a sodium-sulfur battery?

Sodium-sulfur batteries are mature electrochemical energy storage devices with high-energy densities. According to Aquino et al. (2017), they are primarily provided by a single Japanese-based vendor—NGK Insulators—which, to date, has installed 450 MW of the technology worldwide .

Are flow battery systems economically viable?

Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative The economic viability of flow battery systems has garnered substantial attention in recent years, but technoeconomic models often overlook the costs associated with electrolyte tanks.

How much does sodium-sulfur cost?

As a result that limited information was available since then, this value is also used as a data point, with a 10 percent increase accounting for the lower E/P ratio (or higher rate of discharge). An average cost of $ 661/kWh was determined for 2018 sodium-sulfur costs, with a 2025 cost of $ 465/kWh assuming a decrease of 30 percent.
