As of the end of 2022, the total nameplate power capacity of operational utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESSs) in the United States was 8,842 MW and the total energy capacity was 11,105 MWh. Most of the BESS power capacity that was operational in 2022 was installed after 2014, and about 4,807 MW was installed in 2022 alone.
In 2018, the capacity was 869 MW from 125 plants, capable of storing a maximum of 1,236 MWh of generated electricity. By the end of 2020, the battery storage capacity reached 1,756 MW. At the end of 2021, the capacity grew to 4,588 MW. In 2022, US capacity doubled to 9 GW / 25 GWh.
Rated Energy Storage Capacity is the total amount of stored energy in kilowatt-hours (KWh) or megawatt-hours (MWh). Capacity expressed in ampere-hours (100Ah@12V for example). The amount of time storage can discharge at its power capacity before exhausting its battery energy storage capacity.
Battery energy storage systems are generally designed to be able to output at their full rated power for several hours. Battery storage can be used for short-term peak power and ancillary services, such as providing operating reserve and frequency control to minimize the chance of power outages.
As the world transitions to greener sources of power generation such as solar PV and wind, battery energy storage developments will be critical in meeting future energy demand. Global BESS capacity additions expanded 60% in 2022 over the previous year, with total new installations exceeding 43 GWh.
A full battery energy storage system can provide backup power in the event of an outage, guaranteeing business continuity. Battery systems can co-locate solar photovoltaic, wind turbines, and gas generation technologies.
