[LDES-coremodel] Battery storage cost projections

[Daniel M. KAMMEN]

Here is a great starting point on storage costs.

2 years dated (2019 publication, 2018 dara), but comprehensive.

Schmidt, O., Melchior, S., Hawkes, A., Staffell, I., 2019a. Projecting the
future levelized cost of electricity

storage technologies. Joule 3 (1), 81!100.

Summarized in our table 8.3 in the attached Kittner et al chapter, too.
