Large lithium ion rechargeable batteries are already being used to store energy to some extent, but “currently, battery technology only has a capacity of covering up to four hours”, notes Carlos Torres Diaz, director of power and gas market research at consultancy Rystad Energy.
Storage batteries are available in a range of chemistries and designs, which have a direct bearing on how fires grow and spread. The applicability of potential response strategies and technology may be constrained by this wide range. Off gassing: toxic and extremely combustible vapors are emitted from battery energy storage systems .
Many approaches are being evaluated or investigated for long-duration storage, but most of the battery chemistries cannot meet the cost requirement for this application. Breakthroughs in storage concepts like dual use technologies and new grid operation principles are needed.
The ever-increasing demand for electricity can be met while balancing supply changes with the use of robust energy storage devices. Battery storage can help with frequency stability and control for short-term needs, and they can help with energy management or reserves for long-term needs.
For grid-scale energy storage applications including RES utility grid integration, low daily self-discharge rate, quick response time, and little environmental impact, Li-ion batteries are seen as more competitive alternatives among electrochemical energy storage systems.
Modern battery technology offers a number of advantages over earlier models, including increased specific energy and energy density (more energy stored per unit of volume or weight), increased lifetime, and improved safety .
