COST BENEFIT SNAPSHOT 5 YEAR PERIOD

Energy storage project benefit estimation configuration
In the proposed approach, the capacity configuration and the charging/discharging power of energy storage systems are carefully analyzed while life-cycle cost including investment cost, operation and maintenance cost, replacement cost, recovery value and disposal cost, as well as energy storage arbitrage income, government’s incentives and environmental benefits are synthetically deliberated.

How much does the cost of low-voltage energy storage and high-voltage energy storage increase
The core differences lie in three cost segments: Equipment: High-voltage access requires step-up transformers, high-voltage switchgear (each unit costs over 50,000 yuan), dedicated metering devices, and relay protection systems, increasing equipment investment by 40%-60% compared to low-voltage solutions; Construction: High-voltage access often necessitates the construction of new substations or expansion of switchyards, involving land costs, civil engineering, and high-voltage cable laying (costing over 200,000 yuan per kilometer), with increased construction complexity leading to longer construction periods; Operation and maintenance: High-voltage systems require certified professionals, with labor costs 30%-50% higher than low-voltage teams.
