This paper examines the present status and challenges associated with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) as a promising solution for accelerating energy transition, improving grid stability and reducing the greenhouse gas emissions.
In the first quarter of 2022, the first 50MW/100MWh (50MW with a 2-hour duration) project was installed; Stonehill Energy Storage, developed by Penso Power. UK energy storage deployment had the highest annual installed capacity in 2022 at 569MW/789 MWh. Image: Solar Media Market Research.
Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) is a key option to provide flexibility and reliability in a future decarbonized power system. A variety of mature and nascent LDES technologies hold promise for grid-scale applications, but all face a significant barrier—cost.
So far, the most common size for energy storage sites has been 50MW (although sites are now being planned larger). However, battery storage capacity tends to be smaller when co-located with solar and other renewables. The planned capacity is becoming increasingly dominated by large-scale projects.
There is now 2.4GW/2.6GWh across 161 sites of operational energy storage in the UK. 20.2GW have been approved in planning, including 33 sites of 100MW or more, meaning these projects are unlikely to be affected by any future (possible) planning changes. These projects are expected to be completed within the next 3-4 years.
The 2020 Cost and Performance Assessment analyzed energy storage systems from 2 to 10 hours. The 2022 Cost and Performance Assessment analyzes storage system at additional 24- and 100-hour durations.
