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.
All storage technologies can reinforce the quality, stability and reliability of the grid electricity systems. However, the proper storage method should be selected based on several parameters, such as the capital and operational cost, the power density, the energy density, the lifetime and cycle life and the efficiency.
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.
Table 1 and Table 2 contain the characteristics of all storage methods. A comparison of all energy storage technologies by their power rating, autonomy at rated power, energy and power density, lifetime in cycles and years, energy efficiency, maximum DoD (permitted), response time, capital cost, self-discharge rate and maturity is presented.
An energy storage system (ESS) for electricity generation uses electricity (or some other energy source, such as solar-thermal energy) to charge an energy storage system or device, which is discharged to supply (generate) electricity when needed at desired levels and quality. ESSs provide a variety of services to support electric power grids.
