Hi,
I am doing research on energy storage. I found in the literature that the capital cost of a battery is dependent on its capacity and charging/discharging rate. In all the references that I checked, I found models that tell you the capital cost for a specific type of battery as a function of its capacity (measure in $/Kilo-Watt-hour). I also found models that tell you what would be the capital cost of the battery as a function of its charging/discharing rate (measured in $/Kilo Watt). I am looking for a model that combines both of those elements, i.e., a model that tell you the capital cost of a battery as a function of its capacity (in Kilo-Watt-hour) and as a function of its charging/discharging rate (measured in Kilo-Watt). Would highly appreciate any feedback.
Regards,
Mehiar
I agree with Mykhailo. Also, I would like to add that I have done a lot of work on this during my PhD research. In the appendices of my work you can find several lists of battery specifications including prices.

Mehiar, I would recommend caution when constructing a battery price model from different sources, especially when these publications are not from the same year, or even not recent numbers. Battery prices are highly dynamic since also the market conditions and plant capacities as well as other commercialization aspects play an important role. Not to forget the type of application and corresponding available government support in different countries. Just to give you a rough impression for automotive batteries .. in the attached paper, you will find a quite conservative battery price projection for Li-ion batteries from 2012. I hope you consider my answer and the article helpful Best Regards Ulrich

I absolutely agree with Ulrich's comment that battery prices have significant variations and are not absolute. Most publications, including my PhD research mostly provide a methodology and modelling for comparison purposes. However, comparison of prices between older and newer publications can also give you an indication of the price trends.
The following remarkable paper uses the both power and energy rating to calculate the estimated price. I myself use the very model but updated the coefficient based on what I have heard from different manufacturers. Surprisingly, this paper is published by Dr. Brekken from OSU. You may ask your questions in detail from him, directly.
Hope this helps:
