As for utilizing battery storage for providing energy flexibility services in data centers, some studies have already discussed the flexibility and scheduling of the battery energy storage systems in data centers, . Taghizad-Tavana et al. proposed a framework for distribution networks by using battery energy storage.
Specifically, data centers consume 1.3 % of the world's electricity, highlighting the economic impacts of data center battery energy storage. The impact of economic benefits obtained from battery energy storage on data center reliability and the extent to which batteries can be utilized have become unresolved challenges. Table 1.
Battery storage costs have evolved rapidly over the past several years, necessitating an update to storage cost projections used in long-term planning models and other activities. This work documents the development of these projections, which are based on recent publications of storage costs.
In return for this large cost the system has a very long battery run time and has the ability to accept a very large increase in load. The average data center is entitled to a 75% savings in battery life cycle costs. If the battery system could simply be matched to the initial load and then expanded as needed, this cost could be avoided.
In support of this challenge, PNNL is applying its rich history of battery research and development to provide DOE and industry with a guide to current energy storage costs and performance metrics for
