The Role of Energy Storage Batteries in Modern Power Systems
Explore how energy storage batteries are transforming power grids by balancing supply-demand, enabling decentralized models, and integrating renewable energy solutions. Discover the
A battery energy storage system (BESS) is an electrochemical device that charges (or collects energy) from the grid or a power plant and then discharges that energy at a later time to provide electricity or other grid services when needed.
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.
Although recent deployments of BESS have been dominated by lithium-ion batteries, legacy battery technologies such as lead-acid, flow batteries and high-temperature batteries continue to be used in energy storage.
Battery energy storage is becoming increasingly important to the functioning of a stable electricity grid. As of 2023, the UK had installed 4.7GW / 5.8GWh of battery energy storage systems, with significant additional capacity in the pipeline. Lithium-ion batteries are the technology of choice for short duration energy storage.
