How do you convert kWh costs to kW costs?
The $/kWh costs we report can be converted to $/kW costs simply by multiplying by the assumed 4-hour duration (e.g., a $300/kWh, 4-hour battery would have a power capacity cost of $/kW). To develop cost projections, storage costs were normalized to their value such that each projection started with a value of 1 in .
Why are battery system costs expressed in $/kWh?
By expressing battery system costs in $/kWh, we are deviating from other power generation technologies such as combustion turbines or solar photovoltaic plants where capital costs are usually expressed as $/kW. We use the units of $/kWh because that is the most common way that battery system costs have been expressed in published material to date.
