Sodium-sulfur batteries are a type of high-temperature battery that relies on a reversible redox reaction between molten sodium and sulfur to charge and discharge electricity.
Sodium-sulfur batteries are mature electrochemical energy storage devices with high-energy densities. According to Aquino et al. (2017a), they are primarily provided by a single Japanese-based vendor— NGK Insulators—which, to date, has installed 450 MW of the technology worldwide.
Figure 5.1. Example input values for annualized cost calculation for a sodium-sulfur battery. Using these inputs, the total net present value (NPV) of the total cumulative cost for the 1 MW/4 MWh storage system after tax, insurance, and other factors described is calculated to be just over $4 million, of which nearly 71 percent is CAPEX-based.
Redox flow batteries, which have several installations, appear to be well positioned, coming in second in terms of overall cost, performance, life, TRL, and MRL. While their RTE is low, there is room for improvement with stack optimization and better flow battery management algorithms.
Sodium-metal halide batteries have not gained significant traction in the energy storage space and are deployed mainly in bus fleets. Hence, there is more room for cost reduction; a reduction of 30 percent has been used in this work.
Given the nature of these storage assets, an energy capacity–based cost comparison is used as opposed to a power-based one. The results show that the Li-ion battery has the lowest total annualized $/kWh cost at approximately $74/kWh of any of the battery energy storage technologies. This is followed by zinc-hybrid cathode technology at $91/kWh-yr.
A fixed O&M cost of $10/kW-yr was used for all battery chemistries. Variable O&M includes all costs necessary to operate the storage system throughout the duration of its economic life and is normalized with respect to the annual discharge energy throughput.
