Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are used to shave off-peak electricity demands, stabilise grid electricity systems and increase the proportion of renewable energy that is intermittent in the energy mix. Their applications are manifold including enhanced stability, reliability, security and efficiency of whole energy system.
These investigations assisted in augmenting the environmental performances of the battery storage in many ways. However, so far, little research is conducted on assessing the probable environmental effects of batteries considering their lifespan, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal.
Environmental impacts of the considered storage comparison and determining the best option in terms of fewer emissions and reduced fossil-fuel-based energy consumptions. Metal- and gas-based effects of the battery storages to humankind, the ecosystem, and resources were evaluated.
This research work applied LCA analysis to estimate and compare the environmental profiles of Li-ion, NaCl, and NiMH battery storage over the entire lifespan, from the extraction of raw material to the end-of-life disposal stages.
In reality, battery efficiency depends on charging current and, hence, the system setup. The higher the storage capacity of the battery in relation to the maximum power output of the PV system, the higher the battery efficiency tends to be.
Thus, in the battery industry, giant quantities of environmental pollution can be generated (e.g., toxic gases, hazardous waste, and GHG emissions) at various stages inclusive of manufacturing, mining, transportation, use, storage, remedy, recycling, and disposal [18, 63]. 3.3.
