Batteries in stationary energy storage applications

Abstract:

This Insight focuses on the role that energy storage, particularly electrochemical energy storage, or batteries, can play in delivering flexibility for a decarbonised electricity system. First, the role of energy storage in a net-zero energy system is outlined. Next, the market for energy storage globally and in the UK is presented, with a particular focus on batteries. Key characteristics of different battery technologies are then reported, providing insight into which battery technologies are best suited to which applications. Finally, the energy storage policy landscape is discussed.
