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.
Energy storage and its impact on the grid and transportation sectors have expanded globally in recent years as storage costs continue to fall and new opportunities are defined across a variety of industry sectors and applications.
Fortunately, battery energy storage systems (BESS) are responsive, high-availability solutions that are well-suited to support data center power consumption needs and are already demonstrating their worth as an established technology to help with the timing mismatches of the grid's supply and demand, as well as providing millisecond services.
Looking at 100 MW systems, at a 2-hour duration, gravity-based energy storage is estimated to be over $1,100/kWh but drops to approximately $200/kWh at 100 hours. Li-ion LFP offers the lowest installed cost ($/kWh) for battery systems across many of the power capacity and energy duration combinations.
Battery cost and performance projections in the 2024 ATB are based on a literature review of 16 sources published in 2022 and 2023, as described by Cole and Karmakar (Cole and Karmakar, 2023). Three
