The capabilities of lithium-ion battery storage in providing long-duration energy storage to global energy systems should not be overlooked, write Kotub Uddin and Sam Secher of Envision. The energy transition requires the deployment of firm, reliable power, which wind and solar alone do not provide.
As per the Energy Storage Association, the average lifespan of a lithium-ion battery storage system can be around 10 to 15 years. The ROI is thus a long-term consideration, with break-even points varying greatly based on usage patterns, local energy prices, and available incentives.
Frequently using Li-ion (thus reducing lifetime) can be financially attractive. Using Li-ion is unprofitable unless it participates in grid services. Electrical energy storage (EES) such as lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries can reduce curtailment of renewables, maximizing renewable utilization by storing surplus electricity.
A novel cash flow model was created for Li-ion battery storage in an energy system. The financial study considers Li-ion battery degradation. Frequently using Li-ion (thus reducing lifetime) can be financially attractive. Using Li-ion is unprofitable unless it participates in grid services.
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) will have a CAGR of 30 percent, and the GWh required to power these applications in 2030 will be comparable to the GWh needed for all applications today. China could account for 45 percent of total Li-ion demand in 2025 and 40 percent in 2030—most battery-chain segments are already mature in that country.
