Energy storage systems are used by a range of application areas with various efficiency, energy density, and cost requirements. This means that the options for effectively comparing energy storage systems using different technologies are limited.
Pumped hydro makes up 152 GW or 96% of worldwide energy storage capacity operating today. Of the remaining 4% of capacity, the largest technology shares are molten salt (33%) and lithium-ion batteries (25%). Flywheels and Compressed Air Energy Storage also make up a large part of the market.
For energy storage other technologies outperform batteries from a capacity cost perspective, and most are doable with existing technologies. Still capacity cost is significant when considering thousands of TerraWatt-hour of storage capacity, amounts that are reached easily for storage of conventional fossil fuels.
Part three compares energy density and capacity cost of several energy storage techniques. Capacity cost and required area are significant when considering storage densities in the TerraWatt-hour range. Thermal storage has the lowest cost. Part four compares the efficiency and energy leakage of the storage techniques of part 3.
Worldwide electricity storage operating capacity totals 159,000 MW, or about 6,400 MW if pumped hydro storage is excluded. The DOE data is current as of February 2020 (Sandia 2020). Pumped hydro makes up 152 GW or 96% of worldwide energy storage capacity operating today.
There exist a number of cost comparison sources for energy storage technologies For example, work performed for Pacific Northwest National Laboratory provides cost and performance characteristics for several different battery energy storage (BES) technologies (Mongird et al. 2019).
