While this cost metric may be appropriate for other forms of generation, including renewable energy, it has the potential to be misused for storage because the power-to-energy ratio will impact the normalized cost. For a 4-hour system, most costs were in the $2/kw-yr – $6/kW-yr range for large scale systems. Category.
