The types of Battery Energy Storage for power systems
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) is an electrochemical storage installation that can store electricity as chemical energy and discharge it back to the grid.
BESS types include:
• Lithium-ion
• Sodium-ion
• Flow batteries
• Sodium–sulfur
• Lead-acid
• Sodium–metal-halide
• Metal–air
• Solid-state lithium
Roughly over 90% of grid-scale BESS installations currently are lithium-ion.
Also, globally, Li-ion accounts for around 98% of the grid-scale storage market worldwide.
The reason for this is because Lithium-Ion exhibits high round-trip efficiency of over 85% (i.e. the fraction of electricity discharged after losses).
Also, it can change its power output on sub-second timescales, making it useful for frequency response and other ancillary services
.
In addition, on a global average, the Li-ion battery pack costs fell about 20% year-on-year (the pack is the largest cost component of BESS).
