This article delves into the fundamentals, historical development, applications, advanced topics, challenges, and future trends of battery energy storage systems. Batteries are electrochemical devices that convert chemical energy into electrical energy through redox reactions.
Battery Energy Storage Systems function by capturing and storing energy produced from various sources, whether it's a traditional power grid, a solar power array, or a wind turbine. The energy is stored in batteries and can later be released, offering a buffer that helps balance demand and supply.
Battery storage can help with frequency stability and control for short-term needs, and they can help with energy management or reserves for long-term needs. Storage can be employed in addition to primary generation since it allows for the production of energy during off-peak hours, which can then be stored as reserve power.
Batteries (in particular, lithium-ion batteries), supercapacitors, and battery–supercapacitor hybrid devices are promising electrochemical energy storage devices. This review highlights recent progress in the development of lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, and battery–supercapacitor hybrid devices.
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.
BESTs are increasingly deployed, so critical challenges with respect to safety, cost, lifetime, end-of-life management and temperature adaptability need to be addressed. The rise in renewable energy utilization is increasing demand for battery energy-storage technologies (BESTs).
