The cost of raw materials, particularly lithium carbonate, plays a significant role in the pricing of lithium-ion batteries. The recent decrease in lithium prices has been a major factor in lowering battery costs. As lithium is a key component in these batteries, fluctuations in its price directly impact the overall cost of battery production.
As there is no battery storage system currently present in Palau, the panels can only generate throughout the day when the sun is available, and no electricity can be stored for later use. Furthermore, the figure also confirms that Palau’s current power system is widely dominated by fossil fuel generation.
It explores the intricate interplay between various factors, such as market dynamics, essential metal prices, production volume, and technological advancements, and their collective influence on future production cost trends within lithium-ion battery technology.
For the current installed solar PV capacity of Palau, which has already been installed, the capital cost was assumed to be zero. The replacement and operating cost were assumed to be USD 400/kW and USD 4/year/kW, respectively. For the additional solar PV generation optimised on HOMER, the capital cost was assumed to be USD 600/kW.
With regard to the economic results of the optimisation, the LCOE for Palau’s current power system was estimated to be USD 0.23/kWh. The current power system has a net present cost of USD 294 million (mostly fuel) and an operating cost of approximately USD 20.7 million/year. Figure 7 shows the average daily dispatch for the current power system.
In 2023, lithium-ion battery pack prices reached a record low of $139 per kWh, marking a significant decline from previous years. This price reduction represents a 14% drop from the previous year’s average of over $160 per kWh.
