Keywords:Electrochemical energy storage · Life-cycle cost · Lifetime decay · Discharge depth 1 Introduction Electrochemical energy storage is widely used in power systems due to its advantages of high specific energy, good cycle performance and environmental protection .
The operation and maintenance costs of electrochemical energy storage systems are the labor,operationandinspection,andmaintenance coststoensurethattheenergystorage system can be put into normal operation, as well as the replacement costs of battery fluids and wear and tear device , which can be expressed as:
Theinherentphysicalandchemicalpropertiesofbatteriesmakeelectrochemicalenergy storage systems suffer from reduced lifetime and energy loss during charging and dis- charging. These problems cause battery life curtailment and energy loss, which in turn increase the total cost of electrochemical energy storage.
The economic end of life is when the net profit of storage becomes negative. The economic end of life can be earlier than the physical end of life. The economic end of life decreases as the fixed O&M cost increases. The useful life of electrochemical energy storage (EES) is a critical factor to system planning, operation, and economic assessment.
The original capex of an electrochemical energy storage includes the cost composition of the main devices such as batteries, power converters, transformers, and protection devices, which can be divided into three main parts.
After the end of the service life of the energy storage power station, the assets of the power station need to be disposed of, and the end-of-life costs mainly include asset evaluation fees, clean-up fees, dismantling and transportation fees, and recycling and regeneration treatment fees.
