Battery uses are commonly divided into two categories—in front of the meter (FTM) and behind the meter (BTM)—depending on where they are placed within the electrical supply chain. FTM batteries can be found in distribution and transmission networks, utilities, substations, and generation plants.
However, the battery can still be useful for other energy storage purposes, such as, for example, the inclusion of storage systems in the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, which help to sustain the grid. The three main benefits that can be generated to the smart grid by reusing batteries after their first life are as follows:
Batteries are becoming a crucial component of the sustainable transportation of the future because of advancements in battery technology. Furthermore, the power stored in these mobile batteries can be utilised to both power your home and provide grid stabilisation. What batteries are used in renewable energy?
“It is already competitive with incumbent technologies, and it can save a lot of the cost and pain and environmental issues related to mining the metals that currently go into batteries,” said Mircea Dincă, the W.M. Keck Professor of Energy at MIT, referring to the new design.
Finally, the safety parameter is important in determining the suitability of the battery for a particular use. Therefore, considering the decarbonization trend in the field of electricity production, it is clear that the development of these storage systems can facilitate the energy transition.
Defer and limit expenses related to the production and sale of new batteries. Provide energy reserves that allow continuity of service, especially in industrial processes powered by other energy sources. Use the available energy previously accumulated in times of absence or high cost of raw materials.
Although at the global level, there remains a lack of clear legislative and regulatory frameworks for the process of repurposing used EV batteries for energy storage, some real instances already exist in which retired EV batteries are repackaged and employed for storage of solar energy.
