Battery technologies for grid-scale storage can be evaluated by six criteria: power, capacity, cycle life, efficiency, cost, and safety. No current technology excels at all six. With new applications, including electric vehicles and grid-scale storage, addressing trade-offs among these criteria becomes the focus of most battery research.
Figure 2. Worldwide Electricity Storage Operating Capacity by Technology and by Country, 2020. Source: DOE Global Energy Storage Database (Sandia 2020), as of February 2020. Worldwide electricity storage operating capacity totals 159,000 MW, or about 6,400 MW if pumped hydro storage is excluded.
Grid energy storage provides various benefits that improve electricity grid operations, reliability, economics and sustainability. The ability to store large amounts of energy and dispatch it when needed helps balance supply and demand, integrate renewable power sources, and reduce costs across the energy system.
Energy storage. Storing energy so it can be used later, when and where it is most needed, is key for an increased renewable energy production, energy efficiency and for energy security.
