It also briefly covers alternative grid-scale battery technologies, including flow batteries, zinc-based batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and solid-state batteries.
As these nations embrace renewable energy generation, the focus on energy storage becomes paramount due to the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources like solar and wind. Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries dominate the field of grid-scale energy storage applications.
While lithium-ion batteries, notably LFPs, are prevalent in grid-scale energy storage applications and are presently undergoing mass production, considerable potential exists in alternative battery technologies such as sodium-ion and solid-state batteries.
In this Review, we describe BESTs being developed for grid-scale energy storage, including high-energy, aqueous, redox flow, high-temperature and gas batteries. Battery technologies support various power system services, including providing grid support services and preventing curtailment.
The rise in renewable energy utilization is increasing demand for battery energy-storage technologies (BESTs). BESTs based on lithium-ion batteries are being developed and deployed. However, this technology alone does not meet all the requirements for grid-scale energy storage.
The efficiency of lithium-ion batteries typically spans between 95 % and 98 % . This inherent scalability makes them a prevalent choice for grid-scale energy storage endeavors . Moreover, they facilitate adaptable charging and discharging rates, a feature that sets them apart from other battery technologies.
