Currently, stationary energy-storage only accounts for a tiny fraction of the total sales of lead–acid batteries. Indeed the total installed capacity for stationary applications of lead–acid in 2010 (35 MW) was dwarfed by the installed capacity of sodium–sulfur batteries (315 MW), see Figure 13.13.
Lead–acid batteries have been used for energy storage in utility applications for many years but it has only been in recent years that the demand for battery energy storage has increased.
Of the 31 MJ of energy typically consumed in the production of a kilogram of lead–acid battery, about 9.2 MJ (30%) is associated with the manufacturing process. The balance is accounted for in materials production and recycling.
Lead–acid batteries may be flooded or sealed valve-regulated (VRLA) types and the grids may be in the form of flat pasted plates or tubular plates. The various constructions have different technical performance and can be adapted to particular duty cycles. Batteries with tubular plates offer long deep cycle lives.
The global market for lead–acid batteries is forecast to reach US$ 15.4 billion by the year 2015, charged by sustained demand from the automobile industry, specifically the aftermarket/replacement market. Currently, stationary energy-storage only accounts for a tiny fraction of the total sales of lead–acid batteries.
The high-rate charge acceptance of lead–acid batteries can be improved by the incorporation of extra carbon of an appropriate type in the negative plate — either as small amounts in the active material itself, or as a distinct layer as in the UltraBattery ®.
