Economic aspects of grid-connected energy storage systems Modern energy infrastructure relies on grid-connected energy storage systems (ESS) for grid stability, renewable energy integration, and backup power. Understanding these systems' feasibility and adoption requires economic analysis.
Modern power grids depend on energy storage systems (ESS) for reliability and sustainability. With the rise of renewable energy, grid stability depends on the energy storage system (ESS). Batteries degrade, energy efficiency issues arise, and ESS sizing and allocation are complicated.
Under some conditions, excess renewable energy is produced and, without storage, is curtailed 2, 3; under others, demand is greater than generation from renewables. Grid-scale energy-storage (GSES) systems are therefore needed to store excess renewable energy to be released on demand, when power generation is insufficient 4.
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.
It is commonly acknowledged that grid-forming (GFM) converter-based energy storage systems (ESSs) enjoy the merits of flexibility and effectiveness in enhancing system strength, but how to simultaneously consider the economic efficiency and system-strength support capability in the planning stage remains unexplored.
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.
