These should have more energy and performance, and be manufactured on a sustainable material basis. They should also be safer and more cost-effective and should already consider end-of-life aspects and recycling in the design. Therefore, it is necessary to accelerate the further development of new and improved battery chemistries and cells.
See all authors The development of new batteries has historically been achieved through discovery and development cycles based on the intuition of the researcher, followed by experimental trial and error—often helped along by serendipitous breakthroughs.
However, the battery can still be useful for other energy storage purposes, such as, for example, the inclusion of storage systems in the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, which help to sustain the grid. The three main benefits that can be generated to the smart grid by reusing batteries after their first life are as follows:
Meanwhile, it is evident that new strategies are needed to master the ever-growing complexity in the development of battery systems, and to fast-track the transfer of findings from the laboratory into commercially viable products.
Figure 19 demonstrates that batteries can store 2 to 10 times their initial primary energy over the course of their lifetime. According to estimates, the comparable numbers for CAES and PHS are 240 and 210, respectively. These numbers are based on 25,000 cycles of conservative cycle life estimations for PHS and CAES.
Furthermore, by respecting this range, the amount of energy stored in the batteries is optimized with respect to the recharge time . Current also has a major impact on the life span of the cells and consequently on the battery and the number of cycles it can withstand.
