Grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) enable us to use electricity more flexibly and decarbonise the energy system in a cost-effective way. [footnote 31] As the technology and innovation in battery design, manufacturing, transportation, and deployment evolves, so will the development of additional applications.
Battery storage already provides grid balancing services to the ESO today, and we expect this to increase as batteries are deployed more widely in the future. What is battery storage, and how does it help us to balance the grid?
Beyond electric vehicles, the energy storage sector for grid balancing is showing increasing demand projections globally [footnote 100] and domestically. [footnote 101] As shown in Figure 6, demand is due to rise to nearly 10GWh by 2030, and double to 20GWh by 2035.
National Grid plugs TagEnergy’s 100MW battery project in at its Drax substation. Following energisation, the facility in North Yorkshire is the UK’s largest transmission connected battery energy storage system (BESS). The facility is supporting Britain’s clean energy transition, and helping to ensure secure operation of the electricity system.
Battery storage capacity in Great Britain is likely to heavily increase as move towards operating a zero-carbon energy system. At the end of 2019 the GB battery storage capacity was 0.88GWh. Our forecasts suggest that it could be as high as 2.30GWh in 2025. The rise of Battery Electric Vehicles means Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) will become important.
They estimate that BESS could provide 10-20GW of capacity to the UK grid by 2030, and 30-35GW by 2050, representing the largest installed capacity compared to other storage technologies. In their models of total demand, The Faraday Institution and BloombergNEF estimate around 5-10GWh demand for grid storage by 2030.
