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.
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) with high electrochemical performance are critical for enabling renewable yet intermittent sources of energy such as solar and wind. In recent years, numerous new battery technologies have been achieved and showed great potential for grid scale energy storage (GSES) applications.
The use of energy stored in a grid-connected battery system to meet on-site energy demands, reducing the reliance on the external grid. The gradual loss of stored energy in a battery over time due to internal chemical reactions, even when it is not connected to a load or in use.
As the clean energy transition accelerates, battery energy storage systems will continue to play a foundational role. They are not just a technological upgrade but a fundamental enabler of a sustainable energy future.
Battery storage with high safety, long service life and maintenance-free property could be a solution to provide storage and supply electricity for off-grid areas (Fig. 3). In these cases, the local temperature needs to be considered, especially in areas with low temperatures below –20 °C or high temperatures over 50 °C.
