As discussed in this review, there are still numerous challenges associated with the integration of large-scale battery energy storage into the electric grid. These challenges range from scientific and technical issues, to policy issues limiting the ability to deploy this emergent technology, and even social challenges.
However, as the US and Europe introduce related entry policies, battery companies are facing numerous international regulatory and legal challenges, making overseas expansion much more difficult.
Poor cost-effectiveness has been a major problem for electricity bulk battery storage systems. Reference Ferrey 7 Now, however, the price of battery storage has fallen dramatically and use of large battery systems has increased.
However, in recent years the use of batteries has increased as a result of cheaper production costs and greater capacity; it is predicted that the installed costs of battery storage could further decrease by between 50 per cent and 66 per cent by 2030, a substantial increase in the market share for storage.
