Battery energy storage systems (BESSs) use batteries, for example lithium-ion batteries, to store electricity at times when supply is higher than demand. They can then later release electricity when it is needed. BESSs are therefore important for “the replacement of fossil fuels with renewable energy”.
IEC TC 120 has recently published a new standard which looks at how battery-based energy storage systems can use recycled batteries. IEC 62933‑4‑4, aims to “review the possible impacts to the environment resulting from reused batteries and to define the appropriate requirements”.
Batteries of various types and sizes are considered one of the most suitable approaches to store energy and extensive research exists for different technologies and applications of batteries; however, environmental impacts of large-scale battery use remain a major challenge that requires further study.
This article provides an overview of the many electrochemical energy storage systems now in use, such as lithium-ion batteries, lead acid batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, sodium-sulfur batteries, and zebra batteries. According to Baker , there are several different types of electrochemical energy storage devices.
The battery's biggest benefit is component recycling. Major drawbacks are the high cost per kWh (135 USD/kWh) and the material's unavailability. In terms of voltage, power, and energy, the LMO, LNMC, and LNCA batteries are excellent . For excellent lifetime and safety, utilize LFP and LTO batteries.
The share of batteries’ manufacturing processes in causing environmental contaminants (especially CO 2 emissions) is significant because of the high energy consumption, compared to other energy storage processes.
