Figure 19 demonstrates that batteries can store 2 to 10 times their initial primary energy over the course of their lifetime. According to estimates, the comparable numbers for CAES and PHS are 240 and 210, respectively. These numbers are based on 25,000 cycles of conservative cycle life estimations for PHS and CAES.
Batteries are typically employed for sub-hourly, hourly and daily balancing. Total installed grid-scale battery storage capacity stood at close to 28 GW at the end of 2022, most of which was added over the course of the previous 6 years. Compared with 2021, installations rose by more than 75% in 2022, as around 11 GW of storage capacity was added.
In its draft national electricity plan, released in September 2022, India has included ambitious targets for the development of battery energy storage. In March 2023, the European Commission published a series of recommendations on policy actions to support greater deployment of electricity storage in the European Union.
The United States and China led the market, each registering gigawatt-scale additions. The grid-scale battery technology mix in 2022 remained largely unchanged from 2021. Lithium-ion battery storage continued to be the most widely used, making up the majority of all new capacity installed. IEA. Licence: CC BY 4.0
“It is already competitive with incumbent technologies, and it can save a lot of the cost and pain and environmental issues related to mining the metals that currently go into batteries,” said Mircea Dincă, the W.M. Keck Professor of Energy at MIT, referring to the new design.
