Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have become the dominant new technology in grid storage, capturing a 90% share of systems proposed last year, according to analysts at Lux Research. Li-ion accounted for 419 MW and 1,555 MWh of proposed storage systems in 2014. LFP, NMC are the leading Li-ion cathodes.

Lithium-ion and molten-salt battery costs will approach $500/kWh by 2022, reducing the high capital cost of emerging grid storage technologies. Li-ion batteries are dependent on cost reductions from mass production while molten-salt batteries and VRFBs rely on long discharge durations to reduce costs.

2021 was a big year for energy-related news, what with the ongoing hunt for new forms of energy storage and cleaner if not carbon-free electricity and events and research that spotlighted the weak links in our power grid. Molten salt nuclear reactors fueled by thorium were first investigated at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the 1950s.

Renewable energy integration involves the incorporation of renewable energy sources into existing energy systems, such as electrical grids or heating systems. Energy storage systems (ESS) play a critical role in modern energy infrastructure by addressing the intermittent nature of some renewable energy sources and improving grid stability.
