In this section, the characteristics of the various types of batteries used for large scale energy storage, such as the lead–acid, lithium-ion, nickel–cadmium, sodium–sulfur and flow batteries, as well as their applications, are discussed. 2.1. Lead–acid batteries
The battery electricity storage systems are mainly used as ancillary services or for supporting the large scale solar and wind integration in the existing power system, by providing grid stabilization, frequency regulation and wind and solar energy smoothing.

One of these bottlenecks is the variable nature of renewable energy. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), also known as Big Batteries, provide electricity grids with a wide range of benefits – recourse in times of imbalance in the supply or demand of electricity, managing frequency and stabilizing the grid, etc.
It ensures stability to the grid, allows the connection of new consumers and supervises the entire electrical power system (hydro, biomass and storage). The 49MW battery storage facility at the West Burton power station site was the largest project in the new regulation system that had been set up across the UK.
An alternative is to store the energy electrochemically in batteries. For a long time, the cost of battery storage of renewable energy was considered prohibitive. Indeed, a decade ago, the price per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of lithium-ion battery storage was around $1,200.
