The time for rapid growth in industrial-scale energy storage is at hand, as countries around the world switch to renewable energies, which are gradually replacing fossil fuels. Batteries are one of the options.
This contributes to a more resilient energy infrastructure, particularly as more intermittent renewable energy sources are integrated into the grid. Battery storage facilitates the use of renewable energy, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions.
Despite their benefits, battery energy storage systems have notable disadvantages. The initial investment for purchasing and installing these systems can be quite high, particularly for larger or more advanced configurations.
However, the disadvantages of using li-ion batteries for energy storage are multiple and quite well documented. The performance of li-ion cells degrades over time, limiting their storage capability.
