With the recent correction in exchange rates, storage costs have become 30% more expensive. This has halved the amount of solar PV in the E3ME-FTT version. I would like to double check this:
Are we using the right year for the currency conversion of storage costs (by memory, that would have been 2020$) when we moved to MIT source from that 2015 paper.
Should we stop representing vanadium-flow batteries or decrease their importance? We now average learning rates and efficiencies between the two 50/50 (costs as well I think?). We now have lower-efficiency and more expensive short-term battery storage. With innovation in Li-ion batteries, the future market niche for vanadium-flow is shrinking.
