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.
The global energy landscape is undergoing an evolution from fossil fuels to renewables and more sustainable sources. As growth in non-fossil energy continues to soar, the need for efficient energy storage is rising in parallel. Enter the battery – a powerful technology anchoring this global energy transition.
In a secondary battery, energy is stored by using electric power to drive a chemical reaction. The resultant materials are “richer in energy” than the constituents of the discharged device .
When investing in batteries, the economics of energy storage becomes a key aspect. The investor must ensure that the economic equation is profitable between the value created by the battery uses, its initial investment and the O&M costs over the long run. Novel tools are developed to determine the optimal added value.
Enter the battery – a powerful technology anchoring this global energy transition. As the world shifts away from fossil fuels, batteries are at the heart of the energy transition. From helping integrate renewables to electrified transportation, batteries are enabling new possibilities and contributing to a cleaner future.
In the context of energy transition, batteries can compensate rapid fluctuations of renewables and can increase their share in the energy mix. In French overseas territories, EDF carries out research to find out optimal storage configurations.
