Battery storage is a technology that enables power system operators and utilities to store energy for later use.
Materials for chemical and electrochemical energy storage are key for a diverse range of applications, including batteries, hydrogen storage, sunlight conversion into fuels, and thermal energy storage.
Examples of medium-duration energy storage technologies include flow batteries, zinc bromine, nickel hydrogen, and liquid metal. Of these technologies some can discharge for less than four hours or more than ten hours, but there is a specific set of grid-related needs that these technologies are able to fill.
As such, secondary batteries are also widely known as energy storage devices, because the electric energy can be converted to chemical energy and stored within the battery.
Sodium-ion and nickel-zinc batteries are also technologies proven to provide short-duration, high-power storage, particularly for UPS applications. In the larger energy grid, lithium-ion makes up the vast majority of energy storage projects for the millisecond- to four-hour duration range.
