This study conducts a life cycle assessment of an energy storage system with batteries, hydrogen storage, or thermal energy storage to select the appropriate storage system. To compare storage systems for connecting large-scale wind energy to the grid, we constructed a model of the energy storage system and simulated the annual energy flow.
Because the energy systems could supply constant power, the power from the energy systems was compared with that from the average conventional power grid in Japan. The facilities used in the energy storage systems were assumed to be as follows. In the battery system, the battery was assumed to be LIB.
As discussed in the earlier sections, some features are preferred when deploying energy storage systems in microgrids. These include energy density, power density, lifespan, safety, commercial availabil-ity, and financial/ technical feasibility. Lead-acid batteries have lower energy and power densities than other electro-chemical devices.
