Assessing Suitability of Various Battery Technologies for Energy Storages : Lithium-ion, Sodium-sulfur and Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries

Abstract

The different state of the art industry battery technologies for large-scale energy storage applications are analyzed and compared in this paper. Focus has been paid to Lithium-ion, Sodium-sulfur and Vanadium redox flow batteries. The paper introduces employed methodology of the comparison and modeling. Typical case studies have been evaluated to present strong and weak sides of selected technologies on real applications.
