Abstract: This paper discusses new developments in lead-acid battery chemistry and the importance of the system approach for implementation of battery energy storage for renewable energy and grid applications.
Lead–acid batteries continue to play an important role in today’s energy storage technologies, accounting for 50% of the rechargeable battery market by revenue in 2019.
Currently, stationary energy-storage only accounts for a tiny fraction of the total sales of lead–acid batteries. Indeed the total installed capacity for stationary applications of lead–acid in 2010 (35 MW) was dwarfed by the installed capacity of sodium–sulfur batteries (315 MW), see Figure 13.13.
Of the 31 MJ of energy typically consumed in the production of a kilogram of lead–acid battery, about 9.2 MJ (30%) is associated with the manufacturing process. The balance is accounted for in materials production and recycling.
Immobilization of the acid via gelled electrolyte and adsorptive glass-mat separators led to the invention of maintenance-free valve-regulated lead–acid batteries in the mid-1900s. This made the technology suitable for automobile batteries for SLI (starting, lighting and ignition) applications.
Lead batteries are very well established both for automotive and industrial applications and have been successfully applied for utility energy storage but there are a range of competing technologies including Li-ion, sodium-sulfur and flow batteries that are used for energy storage.
