Next-generation batteries for stationary energy storageLC-BAT-8-2020

Specific Challenge

• Stationary applications such as utility grids and industrial sites require storage applications that have the ability tocombine high power and heavy use, going through multiple deep cycles per day, with a long lifetime and maximumsafety.

• Future battery systems should have optimal sustainability throughout the entire supply chain, including thesubstitution of critical raw materials, second-life, and recycling.

• Current generation Li-ion batteries may not be the ultimate solution for stationary storage. Interest in next-generation Li-ion and non-Li-ion batteries (i.e. molten salt, metal-air, lithium-sulphur, sodium, flow batteries, solidstate, new ion-based systems) for these applications is growing, but many fundamental and technological obstaclesremain to be overcome.

• Stationary applications need:

– ability to combine high power and heavy use,

– going through multiple deep cycles per day

– a long lifetime and maximum safety

• Future battery systems should have:

– optimal sustainability throughout the entire supply chain,

– substitution of critical raw materials,

– Potential for second-life use and recycling

Specific Challenge

#H2020Energy


• Interest in next-generation Li-ion and non-Li-ion batteries is growing as for:

– molten salt

– metal-air, lithium-sulphur, sodium

– flow batteries

– solid state

– new ion-based systems

• Many fundamental and technological obstacles remain to be overcome.

• IMPORTANT: Challenge in line with identified priorities in the context of the SET-Plan

Scope:

• The objective is to develop and validate or demonstrate innovative next-generation battery technologies forstationary energy storage that have a low cost, high safety, high depth of discharge, and high cycle life andefficiency. Development must include the integration of sensors and/or battery management electronics in the cell,and the potential for upscaling the battery systems. The battery systems should have optimal sustainabilitythroughout the entire supply chain, including the substitution of critical raw materials. A key issue is the design ofan efficient production process with minimal environmental impacts across the whole life-cycle, including recycling.Solutions must be validated or demonstrated in a relevant environment. Since cost is the most important driver forgrid scale electricity storage, targets for key performance indicators such as capital cost, storage cost and end-of-lifecost should be set. "Balance of plant" components should be included in cost estimates.

• Reduce the pressure on limited natural resources due to longer battery lifespan, improved recyclability and the use of more abundant and less harmful materials;

• Speeding up development and subsequent deployment of batteries for energy storage applications.

LC-BAT-9-2020: Hybridisation of battery systems for stationary energy storage

Martin Gieb

Policy Officer – RTD D1

European Commission – DG RTD

Specific Challenge • Advanced batteries are expected to play a major role in electricity grid management in systems with a

high share of renewable electricity.

• The need for simultaneously providing multiple services (e.g. artificial inertia, frequency regulation,renewables balancing, load levelling, backup power and longer-term energy storage) requirescompromises between power needs and energy needs.

• Hybrid battery systems can provide the ability to optimise power/energy performances by thecombination of different technologies. Such hybrid systems would reach better business cases bymixing the contribution to different services and/or products.

• This challenge is in line with the identified priorities in the context of the SET-Plan.

Scope

• The objective is to develop and demonstrate optimised innovative battery storage systems based on hybridisation.

• The resulting storage system can be engineered either by the twinning of distinct systems, or internal hybridisation of cells and control systems.

• Focus should be on cell and stack design, on advanced battery management systems and on high-level, hybrid storage control systems.

#H2020Energy


Scope

• The hybrid storage systems may for example be optimised for one or more of the following applications:

– Stand-alone provision of services to the interconnected pan-European grid,

– Provision of services to island grids,

– Provision of services in weak distribution grids,

– Provision of services in private grids such as industrial parks,

– Provision of load levelling for EV charging service stations.

#H2020Energy


Expected Impact

• The project should contribute to increased competitiveness of electrical energy storage by balancing power needs with energy needs, providing a more efficient system with a longer and better performing lifespan, and by optimising balance-of-plant and installation costs.

• Project results should put the energy storage cost on the path to fall below 0.05 €/kWh/cycle by 2030.
