Batteries are an important part of the global energy system today and are poised to play a critical role in secure clean energy transitions. In the transport sector, they are the essential component in the millions of electric vehicles sold each year. In the power sector, battery storage is the fastest growing clean energy technology on the market.
The increasing importance of large-scale battery storage systems is primarily due to the rising demand for grid stabilization services and the shifting of peak loads as a result of the growing proportion of fluctuating solar and wind power.
Electricity storage systems play a central role in this process. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) offer sustainable and cost-effective solutions to compensate for the disadvantages of renewable energies. These systems stabilize the power grid by storing energy when demand is low and releasing it during peak times.
Historically, the most widely used technology for energy storage worldwide has been pumped hydropower. But with costs on a downward trend, batteries and hydrogen are currently in the spotlight. In Europe, installed battery storage capacity is projected to grow nearly sixfold in the next decade.
Concerning the economic comparison of the large scale energy storage systems it was observed that a range of values exists for each system regarding power and energy related costs, due to various capacity sizes of the operational large scale energy storage systems around the world.
Furthermore, it was observed that with the exception of pumped hydro energy storage systems and compressed air energy storage systems, all the other energy storage systems are fully capable and suitable for providing power very quickly in the power system.
