Among the many grid storage technologies, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), Energy Capacitor Systems (ECS), and Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS) stand out because of to their unique features and uses.
An energy storage system (ESS) for electricity generation uses electricity (or some other energy source, such as solar-thermal energy) to charge an energy storage system or device, which is discharged to supply (generate) electricity when needed at desired levels and quality. ESSs provide a variety of services to support electric power grids.
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.
Two primary figures of merit for energy storage systems: Specific energy Specific power Often a tradeoff between the two Different storage technologies best suited to different applications depending on power/energy requirements Storage technologies can be compared graphically on a Ragone plot Specific energy vs. specific power
