However, the safety concerns, grand initial costs, and being novel and untested are considered to be the barriers to installing batteries (Chen et al., 2009). Pumped hydro storage systems (PHS), CAES, and flywheel energy storage (FES) are subcategories of mechanical energy storage systems.
The development and use of a robust evaluation framework, including sustainability assessment and rigorous decision-making processes for stakeholders involved battery deployment is critical for pre-emptively minimizing negative environmental and social impacts of new energy technologies.
Building such a capability is a timely priority, since most of the battery capacity required for the clean energy transition has not yet been produced, meaning that we are at a critical juncture for ensuring that decisions made carry out large-scale battery deployment avoid negative impacts at scale.
When batteries are used for grid energy storage, another limitation is a lack of resolution regarding how electricity discharged from the system offsets or avoids the use of other electricity resources on the grid.
Regional plans for electricity system decarbonization for the United States (US), 1,2 and Europe 3,4 typically project the need for multifold increases in battery energy storage to maintain electricity service reliability.
