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.
This paper provides a comprehensive review of lithium-ion batteries for grid-scale energy storage, exploring their capabilities and attributes. It also briefly covers alternative grid-scale battery technologies, including flow batteries, zinc-based batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and solid-state batteries.
We have presented the potential for a wide use of Li-ion batteries as primary storage in the renewable energies, replacing the very common lead acid batteries. Favorable attributes of Li-ion batteries are longer lifespan, higher densities of energy and power.
Due to their high energy and power densities, Li-ion batteries can also be applied to grid energy storage. They can be used in micro-grid applications or just as grid support in peak consumption hours.
Among the different Li-ion batteries LiFePO 4 seems to be the most promising for large capacity energy storage , . This is due to its lifespan and safety compared to other Li-ion batteries.
