However, no matter how the energy storage power station participates in the electricity market, the IRR of both power stations does not exceed 10%. This means that there is always a risk of loss in the investment of energy storage power stations.
In general, the initial cost of an energy storage power station mainly includes the investment cost of the energy storage unit, power conversion unit, and other investment costs such as labor and service costs for initial installation. The specific calculations of these three parts used the formulas in Appendix 2 of literature [ 29 ].
Moreover, the economic benefits under different subsidy policies are studied, and the results show that energy storage can recover the cost with appropriate subsidy policies (the subsidy of 0.071 USD/kWh for pumped storage power stations is sufficient while the subsidy of 0.142 USD/kWh is required for electrochemical power stations).
It is imperative to acknowledge the pivotal role of energy storage in shaping the future of power systems. Energy storage technologies have gained significant traction owing to their potential to enhance flexibility, reliability, and efficiency within the power sector.
Compared with that of electrochemical power stations, although the initial investment of pumped storage power stations is relatively large, the longer operating life lowers the cost of pumped storage stations that are evenly allocated to each year and obtains higher IRR.
For different types of energy storage, the initial investment varies greatly. At present, the investment cost of a pumped storage power station is about 878–937 million USD/GW, which is far higher than that of a battery storage power station, and is closely related to location.
