Measuring the True Costs and Benefits of Energy Storage: Part Two - How cycle life and environmental factors impact LCOE

摘要

In last month's issue, Part One of this series began covering how checking a few simple performance metrics can help calculate the true costs and benefits of competing energy storage systems. Additionally calculating this levelized cost of energy (LCOE) can help distinguish between what might look like a good price up front from what's actually a better buy in the long run.
