To commercialize batteries in the stationary EES market, the key parameter is the capital cost, which is defined as the cost per unit energy divided by the cycle life. Additionally, the long cycle performance of the battery is another key parameter for successful EES applications.
Currently, rechargeable lithium ion batteries (LIBs) are the most successful portable electricity storage devices, but their use is limited to small electronic equipment. Using LIBs to store large amounts of electrical energy in stationary applications is limited, not only by performance but also by cost.
Thus, a viable battery technology that can store large amounts of electrical energy in stationary applications is needed. In this review, well-developed and recent progress on the chemistry and design of batteries, as well as their effects on the electrochemical performance, is summarized and compared.
Although the commercialized batteries are widely installed in stationary applications, their energy density is still insufficient for large-scale EES systems due to the intrinsic limitations such as low capacity and low operation voltage in the currently used electrode materials for batteries.
It covers key market trends, with a particular focus on the shift toward utility-scale storage, the continuing growth of residential and commercial installations, and the evolving role of battery storage in supporting Europe's clean energy goals.
If new battery systems or further developments of present battery systems can be introduced with suitable characteristics for large-scale EES systems, it will bring society one step closer to achieving successful stationary energy storage technology for use in renewable energy systems.
