Exawatt’s levelised cost of energy/storage (LCOE/LCOS) analysis were developed in response to the desire for users to be able to compare the energy transacted by a lithium-ion battery pack across their first and second life (including recycling or further use in grid storage)
The energy storage team’s analysis centres on a model developed with customisability in mind.
The LCOE/LCOS model includes the following:
- Over thirty customisable inputs including cycle life and depth of discharge
- Comparison of LFP and NMC chemistries
- Adjustable BEV efficiency via the use of SiC inverters

Ed uses his electrochemical materials knowledge to inform our supply chain analysis and bottom-up cost modelling. He has a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Sheffield, specialising in solid oxide fuel cell anodes. Ed’s industrial experience includes research into novel battery current collectors and spinel cathode synthesis.![](https://exa-watt.com/wp-content/uploads/Aaron-W.jpg)
Aaron Wade
Head of Battery CostsAaron Wade
Aaron leads CRU’s battery cost modelling, forecasting production costs of current and next-generation battery technologies, understanding when and how new technologies will affect the battery market.Prior to joining CRU, Aaron completed his PhD in lithium-ion battery degradation with the Faraday Institution at UCL. During this time he interned at Exawatt part-time for the duration of his studies. Aaron is a project director of “Battery Pub”, an online networking event for the battery community.
