Battery energy storage is essential for a sustainable and resilient energy system. It stores electricity for later use, supporting the shift from fossil fuels to renewable sources like wind and solar. By capturing renewable energy when available and dispatching it as needed, battery storage improves grid efficiency, reliability, and sustainability.
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.
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.
Several types of batteries are used in energy storage systems, each with distinct pros and cons: The main chemistries in energy storage systems are LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) and NMC (Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide). Lithium-ion batteries are the most commonly used type for energy storage due to several reasons:
Energy-storage systems designed to store and release energy over extended periods, typically more than ten hours, to balance supply and demand in power systems. Reduction of energy demand during peak times; battery energy-storage systems can be used to provide energy during peak demand periods.
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.
