Currently, stationary energy-storage only accounts for a tiny fraction of the total sales of lead–acid batteries. Indeed the total installed capacity for stationary applications of lead–acid in 2010 (35 MW) was dwarfed by the installed capacity of sodium–sulfur batteries (315 MW), see Figure 13.13.
Lead–acid batteries may be flooded or sealed valve-regulated (VRLA) types and the grids may be in the form of flat pasted plates or tubular plates. The various constructions have different technical performance and can be adapted to particular duty cycles. Batteries with tubular plates offer long deep cycle lives.
Lead–acid batteries typically have coulombic (Ah) efficiencies of around 85% and energy (Wh) efficiencies of around 70% over most of the SoC range, as determined by the details of design and the duty cycle to which they are exposed. The lower the charge and discharge rates, the higher is the efficiency.
Lead–acid batteries have been used for energy storage in utility applications for many years but it has only been in recent years that the demand for battery energy storage has increased.
The behaviour of Li-ion and lead–acid batteries is different and there are likely to be duty cycles where one technology is favoured but in a network with a variety of requirements it is likely that batteries with different technologies may be used in order to achieve the optimum balance between short and longer term storage needs. 6.
