What is a battery for stationary storage?

Batteries for stationary storage are used for a range of applications with some being more suited to store energy and others to supply power. In the present report, batteries that can provide energy for more than hour are called energy-designed and batteries that can provide energy for less than 1 hour are called power-designed.

Are Li-ion batteries suitable for energy systems?

In the longer term, Li-ion batteries are suitable for most services in the energy system; other battery storage technologies will ultimately compete on costs.

Will re-use of batteries reduce costs of stationary storage?

In the longer term the volume of batteries from electric vehicles will be sufficient to supply the needs for stationary storage if batteries are re-used. Second life of batteries could reduce costs of stationary storage further by about 20 % or 30 to 45 €/kWh.

Are Li-ion batteries a future for stationary storage?

From a niche application today, Li-ion batteries for stationary storage are projected to increase rapidly over time. In the near-term, most projections see an increase by up to an order of magnitude, from about 3 – 4 GWh today to 100 GWh in 2025.
