Lithium-ion battery technology has enabled mobile devices and electric vehicles, but further cost reductions are needed for large-scale energy storage applications. Performance, safety, and cost are interdependent and improvements require an integrated approach across material development, cell manufacturing, and energy storage system design. Early design choices strongly influence the manufacturing process and overall system integration. Optimizing these factors will depend on greater collaboration between academia, manufacturers, and system integrators through cross-training and a more vertically integrated approach to design and production.

These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled Technology Management Strategy to analyze the business model for Solar Windows from New Energy Technologies. New Energy Technologies provides a process for transforming existing windows into solar collectors merely by spraying several materials on the windows. With this low cost process, the windows can create electricity with costs and efficiencies that are much lower than those of solar collectors. The value proposition is low cost solar electricity and the main customers are buildings in areas with lots of sunlight such as Dubai. The firm should outsource manufacturing and installation to local firms and make money in licensing. Its patents can be used to protect from imitation.
Energy storage has been in use in our society and daily life for decades. Although energy storage has not grown to be a significant part of the electric energy system, recent advancement of energy storage technologies and growing needs for energy storage in both power and transportation sectors make it possible and imperative to accelerate energy storage development, deployment, and adoption. Power systems have to balance electricity generation and consumption in real-time, gasoline and diesel fuel are still the primary sources of energy for transportation, and we generally do not have good ways to conveniently and cost-effectively store a large amount of electrical energy and use it in an on-demand manner. While we need to continue decarbonizing electric power generation through increases in renewable generation, we also need to address transportation as the main source of carbon emissions. Energy storage is an important solution to address both electrification of transportation and other industries and the variability in renewable energy such as wind and solar generation.
Bulk of the existing grid energy storage capacity is provided by pumped hydro energy storage plants that were built to support large baseload power plants such as nuclear generating stations. Battery energy systems are beginning to be deployed at a rapid pace. The requirements of energy storage in the electric grid are still evolving and may differ from those of electrical transportation. Needs for research and development to enhance energy storage performance and knowledge is summarized in the following areas:
1) Energy storage engineering and integration: Effective system integration is a challenging problem for energy storage due to the great diversity of potential applications ranging from behind-the-meter storage to large grid-connected energy storage plants. Each of these applications has its own set of constraints and performance requirements. Over the next decade, the diversity of energy storage installations will expand in the range of applications, in size and scale, and in system complexity. Effective integration is also important to achieve desired cost reduction needed to support large scale deployment. Research gaps in this area include: energy storage installations with higher power capacities and higher working voltages; streamlining engineering to hybridize and co-optimize energy storage with the rest of the system; more effective controls, sensors, and energy management systems; designing modular power converter architecture to minimize system complexity, improve reliability, and reduce integration costs; and industry standards for secure communication and interoperability.
The Stationary Energy Storage System (SESS) market is witnessing a period of unprecedented growth and transformation. As we stand at the intersection of technology, environmental policy, and consumer behavior, several key trends and drivers are shaping the future of energy storage. The following introduction seeks to encapsulate the essence of these market dynamics.
In the wake of global efforts to mitigate climate change, there is an accelerated shift towards renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. However, the intermittent nature of these power sources necessitates reliable storage solutions to ensure a steady supply of electricity. This is where SESS comes into play, providing the critical balancing act between energy generation and consumption.
Moreover, the declining costs of battery technologies, driven by innovations and economies of scale, are making SESS increasingly viable and attractive. The confluence of technological advancements, cost reductions, and supportive regulatory frameworks are converging to propel the SESS market forward.
Energy policies and incentives have also emerged as vital drivers, as governments worldwide implement measures to encourage the adoption of storage systems. These include subsidies, tax incentives, and mandates that require a certain percentage of power to be derived from renewable sources. Such policies are setting the stage for an era where stored energy can be efficiently harnessed, redistributed, and commercialized.

Comparative analysis of electrochemical energy storage technologies for smart...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
This paper presents a comparative analysis of different forms of electrochemical energy storage technologies for use in the smart grid. This paper addresses various energy storage techniques that are used in the renewable energy sources connected to the smart grid. Energy storage technologies will most likely improve the penetrations of renewable energy on the electricity network. Consequently, energy storage systems could be the key to finally replacing the need for fossil fuel with renewable energy. It is hard to evaluate the different types of energy storage techniques between themselves due to the fact that each technology could be used in a different way and are more like compliments. Subsequently, for the purposes of this paper, it is seen that the use of energy storage technologies will increase the supply, and balances out the demand for energy.

Design and performance analysis of PV grid-tied system with energy storage sy...IJECEIAES
With the increasing demand for solar energy as a renewable source has brought up new challenges in the field of energy. However, one of the main advantages of photovoltaic (PV) power generation technology is that it can be directly connected to the grid power generation system and meet the demand of increasing energy consumption. Large-scale PV grid-connected power generation system put forward new challenges on the stability and control of the power grid and the grid-tied photovoltaic system with an energy storage system. To overcome these problems, the PV grid-tied system consisted of 8 kW PV array with energy storage system is designed, and in this system, the battery components can be coupled with the power grid by AC or DC mode. In addition, the feasibility and flexibility of the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) charge controller are verified through the dynamic model built in the residential solar PV system. Through the feasibility verification of the model control mode and the strategy control, the grid-connected PV system combined with reserve battery storage can effectively improve the stability of the system and reduce the cost of power generation. To analyze the performance of the grid-tied system, some realtime simulations are performed with the help of the system advisor model (SAM) that ensures the satisfactory working of the designed PV grid-tied system.

Performance Safety and Cost Dependencies of Large Energy Storage
Systems
Background-
Never before was energy storage so visible, as a principal component of the fundamentals
for economic development. Because energy storage enables dispatchable power with relative
ease and predictability, its value proposition applies anywhere in the world.
Energy Storage Systems (ESS) capable of working as energy ballasts between generation
and point of use are particularly useful since it allows efficient integration of intermittent power
generation. Solar, wind, and wave technologies provide alternate solutions for energy
production. These methods of power generation collect and aggregate energy rather than
transforming some stored fuel.
Overall cost and fitness to the application dictate the worthiness and value of a storage
system. Electrochemistry based energy storage systems (batteries and capacitors) provide
an efficient solution for integration of energy collectors (i.e. solar panels) because they
efficiently store and dispatch generated/collected energy. In a sense, the highly reversible
charge/discharge process provides a very low “operation cost” storage.
Electrochemistry energy storage systems cover a broad range of technologies. Each
technology has advantages and challenges depending on operational requirements,
portability, life-cycle, and cost.
Lithium-Ion Technologies-
Lithium-ion battery technology has enabled the mobile revolution from the Sony Walkman to
cell phones, laptops, and tablets. The same technology is now enabling EV and PHEV cars
like Tesla, Nissan Leaf, and, GM Volt.
Lithium-ion battery technology may be the key enabling technology allowing integration of
more variable renewable resources to the electric grid. However, to become a large scale
enabler, the lithium-ion ESS must develop further to reach the $200-$250 per kWh (system
level) cost, which by many is seen as the crucial price point.
There are three ways to improve the lithium-ion cell performance: chemistries, the format and
size of the cells, and the manufacturing process. There are several approaches to improve
the performance of an energy storage system such as system sizing optimization, integration
approach, and control methodology.
2. Performance Safety and Cost Dependencies of Large Energy Storage
Systems Page 2
The Knowledge Spectrum-
Three main sectors participate in the development through manufacturing of large energy
storage system. (1) The Academia is responsible for the development of raw materials and
development of knowledge around materials and components, theoretical potential of future
products, modes of failure for the various operational scenarios, etc. (2) The Cell
Manufacturing is responsible for the cell design and development of manufacturing
processes to produce the cells. (3) The Energy Storage Systems Integrators are
responsible for the design development and production of systems; some application-
specific, others can be adapted to fit the requirements of a group of applications
(standardized).
Each of these sectors has particular skill set and knowledge. In my opinion, the cross craft
training in both the Academia and “practitioners” and even between practitioners in related
subjects is very low, and specialization becomes an issue.
Specialization becomes a more significant issue when it resides in organizations that are not
dedicated to the integration of the final product and not responsible for its performance.
3. Performance Safety and Cost Dependencies of Large Energy Storage
Systems Page 3
Such an example is often found in the development of battery management systems. Often
these systems are developed by experts in electronic design, data acquisition, and data
manipulation but lack understanding of the variations of cell performance parameters.
Implementation of temperature management with a weak knowledge of the systems Ampacity
is also an occurrence.
Organizations in the lithium-ion ESS manufacturing that have a high degree of vertical
integration, both in the design and manufacturing, could have an easier path to success due
to the inter-organization learning and collaboration.
Early Choices-
Lithium-ion cell performance is based on a multitude of dependencies related to raw
materials, manufacturing processes, cell design and operating conditions.
In a particular application, the ESS’s performance depends on the integration design, control
methodology and the variation of the cell’s performance indicators.
The cell characteristics resulting from a particular design can optimize the ESS overall design
to achieve the requirements for the application.
In the development of large prismatic cells, the complete definition of product requirements
including the final integration is critical to achieving high adoption (commodity status). It may
determine the chemistry to be used, the cell stack construction, terminal connections,
enclosure and other deterministic characteristics that define the manufacturing development
roadmap.
The importance of making “robust” design choices early on in the design process, allows the
correct influence in the manufacturing development processes and optimization of the
approaches to the systems’ integration.
Once a particular design path is chosen, and the procurement of production equipment
commences, it is difficult to make substantial changes related systems integration. A simple
example is a decision between electrode stacking or paralleling of flat-wound stacks. Two
entirely different manufacturing methodologies with the significant impact of system’s
performance.
Looking Forward-
The future acceptance of lithium-ion large ESS will depend on the development
improvements in Performance, Safety, and Cost.
The Performance component will certainly include the ability to increase the ESS charge
rate, improve control and reach the optimum balance between energy density and power
capability.
4. Performance Safety and Cost Dependencies of Large Energy Storage
Systems Page 4
The development/improvement of cathode materials, a better understanding of mix, coating
and calendering processes, optimization of electrode balancing will lead to an optimum
distribution of current densities across the electrodes, therefore, improving performance.
In my opinion, these developments will occur in the optimization of the manufacturing function
for the various battery components and materials along with small improvements in materials
and formulations.
While many aspects of the ESS integration are related to Performance, Safety, and Cost,
there are design dependencies that are significant making a case for the need for a vertically
integrated design approach. From a Safety perspective, an Ampacity minded cell and system
electrical bus design can lead to better thermal control of the system improving the probability
of lithium plating, limiting electrode corrosion and electrolyte degradation. At the same time,
such Ampacity minded design also aids Performance and can have an impact on the ESS’s
Cost.
The integration of battery management systems that are designed with application-specific
references and objectives can approach adaptive control methods and robust State of Health
functions that can have a huge impact on the functionality of the ESS, offer a more robust
safety layer and improve the system’s life.
For the most part, lithium-ion ESS are considered commodities. With few exceptions, the
materials and components used in large ESS are commodities. The increase in adoption will
not have a significant impact on the system’s Cost. The energy density of the individual cell
will increase somewhat but not significant.
A significant improvement in cycle life, increased operational efficiency and cost savings from
the vertical integration of the ESS design and manufacturing processes are the main areas
for great Cost of Ownership reductions.
As an example, ESS in vehicle applications should have life cycles comparative to that of the
vehicles.
Conclusions-
Lithium-ion based large ESS have tremendous potential to transform the current
electrochemical energy storage market.
The optimization of Performance, Safety, and Cost will most likely come from vertical
integration of the design and manufacturing of the overall system.
The optimization effort would gain tremendous by aggressive cross-training of the
stakeholders on the various sectors and discipline matters.
