In order to cope with both high and low load situations, as well as the increasing amount of renewable energy being fed into the grid, the storage of electricity is of great importance. However, the large-scale storage of electricity in the grid is still a major challenge and subject to research and development.
When asked to define grid-scale energy storage, it's important to start by explaining what “grid-scale” means. Grid-scale generally indicates the size and capacity of energy storage and generation facilities, as well as how the battery is used.
Grid-scale batteries have a round-trip efficiency (RTE) measurement, which shows the energy lost during storage and retrieval, usually 70–90%. Lithium-ion batteries reach an industry-high RTE of 90%+, lead-acid measures about 70%, flow batteries are around 50–75%, and metal-air designs can be as low as 40%.
