The system uses two thermal storage tanks for storage of heat at the temperature of the hot and cold gas. In a typical study, it was demonstrated using the Levelized Cost of Storage method that the cost of electricity storage is between 2.7 and 5.0 €ct/kW h, based on assumptions made.
Energy storage is a high-quality flexible resource, with an important regulatory role in a high increasing the uptake of variable and intermittent renewable energy resources. The various elements of Levelized cost of storage are the Capex, Opex, charging cost, tax cost, replacement cost, and end-of-life cost.
