LI-ION BATTERY TECHNOLOGY FOR GRID APPLICATION

Journal Article · · Journal of Power Sources

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are forecasted to play vital role in future grid system, which is complex and incredibly important for energy supply in modern era. Currently, lithium-ion batteries are most widely deployed BESS for a wide range of grid services but requires substantial understanding and improvement for effective market creation. Therefore, the aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of current status and limitations of Li-ion battery technology from various aspects. Starting with lithium-ion battery characteristics with respect to chemistry, performance, reliability and safety, types of grid services, requirements, standards and system design is explained in detail based on real-world projects.
