The earliest gravity-based pumped storage system was developed in Switzerland in 1907 and has since been widely applied globally. However, from an industry perspective, energy storage is still in its early stages of development. With the large-scale generation of RE, energy storage technologies have become increasingly important.
Energy storage technologies are of great importance to balance the supply and demand of electricity generation, distribution, and usage.
Industry attention was also devoted to the effectiveness of applications and the safety of energy storage systems, and lithium-ion battery energy storage systems saw new developments toward higher voltages. Energy storage system costs continued to decline.
The reliability and efficiency enhancement of energy storage (ES) technologies, together with their cost are leading to their increasing participation in the electrical power system .
The technologies that are most suitable for grid-scale electricity storage are in the top right corner, with high powers and discharge times of hours or days (but not weeks or months). These are Pumped Hydropower, Hydrogen, Compressed air and Cryogenic Energy Storage (also known as ‘Liquid Air Energy Storage’ (LAES)).
CATL developed new LiFePO batteries which offer ultra long life capabilities, while BYD launched "blade" batteries to further improve battery cell capacities. Other energy storage technologies such as vanadium flow batteries and compressed air energy storage saw new breakthroughs in long-term energy storage capabilities.
In 2025, some 80 gigawatts (gw) of new grid-scale energy storage will be added globally, an eight-fold increase from 2021.
