The case of Western Balkans - ScienceDirect Economics of electric energy storage. The case of Western Balkans State of the art of technology and application of pumped hydro and battery storage systems. Overview of the installed electricity storage capacities in Western Balkans.
Paris Agreement has influenced a higher generation of renewable systems that impact energy balancing costs and question future energy supply stability. Energy storage could be the key component for efficient power systems transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources.
Pumped hydro storage has the lowest Levelized cost of electricity and is still the most cost-efficient storage technology. Fig. 5. Levelized costs of electricity delivered by different energy storage systems. When energy storage systems are in charging mode, electricity market prices influence overall costs.
The economic driver of the pumped hydro storage technology is the flexibility of demand-supply. With the high integration of renewable systems, the operating of the power systems should be managed efficiently.
Results show PHS is still the most cost-efficient energy storage technology, which along with analysis of installed plants in the Western Balkan region, presents prospects regardless of their difficult installation and geographical requirements.
The method of approach is based on an economic assessment of the different types of storage depending on capital-recovery-factors for the capital costs, life cycle costs, full load hours, the price spread of electricity in the day-ahead markets, and Levelized costs of energy storage. Sensitivity analysis of the market prices is conducted.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
