A battery energy storage system (BESS) is an electrochemical device that charges (or collects energy) from the grid or a power plant and then discharges that energy at a later time to provide electricity or other grid services when needed.
Production scale and battery chemistry determine the energy use of battery production. Energy use of battery Gigafactories falls within 30–50 kW h per kW h cell. Bottom-up energy consumption studies now tend to converge with real-world data.
Dai et al (2019) estimate the energy use in battery manufacturing facilities in China with an annual manufacturing capacity of around 2 GWh c to 170 MJ (47 kWh) per kWh c, of which 140 MJ is used in the form of steam and 30 MJ as electricity. Ellingsen et al (2015) studied electricity use in a manufacturing facility over 18 months.
According to the study, with today's know-how and production technology, it takes 20 to 40 kilowatt-hours of energy to produce a battery cell with a storage capacity of one kilowatt-hour, depending on the type of battery produced and even without considering the material.
Energy storage systems allow energy consumption to be separated in time from the production of energy, whether it be electrical or thermal energy. The storing of electricity typically occurs in chemical (e.g., lead acid batteries or lithium-ion batteries, to name just two of the best known) or mechanical means (e.g., pumped hydro storage).
Fourth, owing to large investments in battery production infrastructure, research and development, the resulting technology improvements and techno-economic effects promise a reduction in energy consumption per produced cell energy by two-thirds until 2040, compared with the present technology and know-how level.
