This paper provides a comprehensive review of lithium-ion batteries for grid-scale energy storage, exploring their capabilities and attributes. It also briefly covers alternative grid-scale battery technologies, including flow batteries, zinc-based batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and solid-state batteries.
That cost reduction has made lithium-ion batteries a practical way to store large amounts of electrical energy from renewable resources and has resulted in the development of extremely large grid-scale storage systems. These modern EES systems are characterized by rated power in megawatts (MW) and energy storage capacity in megawatt-hours (MWh).
The efficiency of lithium-ion batteries typically spans between 95 % and 98 % . This inherent scalability makes them a prevalent choice for grid-scale energy storage endeavors . Moreover, they facilitate adaptable charging and discharging rates, a feature that sets them apart from other battery technologies.
In sum, the actionable solution appears to be ≈8 h of LIB storage stabilizing wind/solar + nuclear with heat storage, with the legacy fossil fuel systems as backup power ( Figure 1 ). Schematic of sustainable energy production with 8 h of lithium-ion battery (LIB) storage. LiFePO 4 //graphite (LFP) cells have an energy density of 160 Wh/kg (cell).
Future prospects of Li-ion batteries and overall grid-scale energy storage In the United States, approximately 29 states have enacted renewable portfolio standards mandating a diverse range of 15 % to 30 % of electricity sales to be sourced from renewable outlets .
