Cheaper Lithium-ion batteries are regarded as constituting a Technology Landmark<\/em> for use in an OmegaMap. <\/em>Its widespread use would contribute significantly to making renewable energy storage more popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The information presented here is based on an article \u201cA Behind the Scenes Take on Lithium-ion Battery Prices\u201d written by Logan Goldie-Scot and published in Bloomberg NEF<\/em>, on March 5, 2019. Prices are anticipated to fall at a rate of 18% per annum to the year 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The locus of innovation is a combination of new Principles of Operation <\/em>causing higher energy densities and cycle lives, <\/em>as well as larger production runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The effect of this innovation is to improve the Functionality<\/em> : Store-Energy. <\/em>Its position in the techno-sphere is indicated on the Functionality<\/em> Grid. (S<\/em>ee diagram below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned above, two Functional Performance Metrics <\/em>are referred to:\u00a0 (i) Energy density \u2013 kilowatt-hours per unit of weight or space. (ii) Number of recharge cycles. This source does not provide information on these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technology readiness level<\/em>, on a scale of 1 to 9, is TRL9 : i.e., \u201cActual system proven in operational environment\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
