As described above, power station equipment costs are determined with the method described in Section 4.3. Depending on the type of power station (underground or surface) the total cost of power station equipment is estimated using head height and power plant capacity to reflect economies of scale.
A variety of energy storage technologies are being considered for these purposes, but to date, 93% of deployed energy storage capacity in the United States and 94% in the world consists of pumped storage hydropower (PSH) (Uría-Martínez, Johnson, and Shan 2021; Rogner and Troja 2018).
The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Energy Storage Grand Challenge is a comprehensive program that seeks to accelerate the development, commercialization, and utilization of next-generation energy storage technologies.
For small PSH systems, the transmission cost is a much more substantive cost component in relative terms. These results illustrate the possible outcomes of this PSH cost model but might not be representative of typical PSH systems.
