Battery storage revolutionizes energy use, but its environmental impact raises concerns. Explore the balance between innovation and sustainability.
Secondly, environmental impacts arise throughout the lifecycle of battery storage systems, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal. Key issues include resource depletion, greenhouse gas emissions, and pollution from mining activities.
While battery storage systems offer environmental benefits by enabling the transition to renewable energy, they also pose environmental challenges due to their manufacturing processes, resource extraction, and end-of-life disposal (Akintuyi, 2024, Digitemie & Ekemezie, 2024, Nwokediegwu, et. al., 2024, Popoola, et. al., 2024).
In fact, the inherent bulkiness of battery energy storage quickly shows itself in real world applications. Using current technologies, half of the power produced by the battery pack of an electric vehicle goes to moving the batteries themselves, a basic problem for a mobile power source.
Lithium-ion battery energy storage systems (LIB-ESS) are perceived as an essential component of smart energy systems and provide a range of grid services. Typical EV battery packs have a useful life equivalent to 200,000 to 250,000 km although there is some concern that rapid charging (e.g. at > 50 kW) can reduce this .
However, alongside their numerous benefits, battery storage systems also present significant safety concerns that must be carefully addressed to ensure the protection of human life, property, and the environment (Abolarin, et. al., 2023, Eyo-Udo, Odimarha & Ejairu, 2024, Igbinenikaro & Adewusi, 2024).
Operational battery life is influenced by chemistry, materials, and environmental factors. SOH efficiency measures a battery’s current condition relative to its original capacity, influenced by factors like internal resistance and voltage suppression.
