Cost and market analysis for stationary energy storage systems

Fraunhofer ZESS conducts in-depth market and cost analyses for stationary energy storage systems such as sodium-nickel chloride batteries and Li-ion batteries. Market and technology research are indispensable tools that form the basis for sustainable and far-reaching project decisions. Information on market potential, target market structures, competitors, potential customers, and cooperation partners is incorporated into the research.

When conducting cost analyses, Fraunhofer ZESS has the option of considering different objectives. For example, the manufacturing costs of the battery prototype are determined in parallel with the development project in order to calculate a cost estimate for a small series, including potential cost savings. In addition, cost analyses can be prepared for various battery production processes. This allows costs to be estimated for both manufacturing operations and large-scale series production. A simplified techno-economic analysis of the storage technologies used rounds off the portfolio.
