Lead batteries are very well established both for automotive and industrial applications and have been successfully applied for utility energy storage but there are a range of competing technologies including Li-ion, sodium-sulfur and flow batteries that are used for energy storage.
Safety needs to be considered for all energy storage installations. Lead batteries provide a safe system with an aqueous electrolyte and active materials that are not flammable. In a fire, the battery cases will burn but the risk of this is low, especially if flame retardant materials are specified.
Lead batteries operate reliably at wide-ranging temperatures from hot desert conditions to cold arctic environments. This is one of the many reasons why lead are one of the preferred solutions for data center uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. Sealed VRLA battery designs have made the use of lead battery technology even safer.
Improvements to lead battery technology have increased cycle life both in deep and shallow cycle applications. Li-ion and other battery types used for energy storage will be discussed to show that lead batteries are technically and economically effective. The sustainability of lead batteries is superior to other battery types.
While the lead battery industry is the world’s largest consumer of lead, air emissions of lead from lead battery production are less than 1% of total U.S. lead emissions. Historically, the main sources of human lead exposure have been from leaded paint, leaded gasoline, leaded pottery, lead water pipes and lead solder – not lead batteries.
A selection of larger lead battery energy storage installations are analysed and lessons learned identied. Lead is the most efcientlyrecycled commodity fi fi metal and lead batteries are the only battery energy storage system that is almost completely recycled, with over 99% of lead batteries being collected and recycled in Europe and USA.
Battery Hazards for Large Energy Storage Systems
Liquid cooling is rare in stationary battery systems even though it is widely used in electric vehicle batteries. Liquid cooling can provide superior thermal management, but the systems are more expensive, complex, and prone to leakages, which restricts their use in large stationary systems.
