6 FAQs about [Lithium battery energy storage project construction planning]

What is lithium-ion battery energy storage system?

The penetration of the lithium-ion battery energy storage system (LIBESS) into the power system environment occurs at a colossal rate worldwide. This is mainly because it is considered as one of the major tools to decarbonize, digitalize, and democratize the electricity grid.

Can lithium-ion battery storage be used in power grid applications?

Recently Hesse et al. conducted a detailed review of the lithium-ion battery storage for the power grid applications where the relationship between the lithium-ion cell technology and the LIBESS short-term and long-term operation, the architecture and topology of LIBESS, and provided services to the grid were discussed.

When will the 57 MW / 114 MW lithium-ion battery storage facility start?

The 57 MW / 114 MWh lithium-ion battery storage facility in Braintree, Essex, the latest project to receive planning approval, is expected to begin construction in early 2024, with the aim of being operational in early 2025.

Will a 50MW battery storage project be able to come on line?

Planning law in the UK has been changed to allow energy storage projects over 50MW to come on line without going through the national planning process. This could pave the way for a major expansion of battery storage facilities across our towns and cities, to support green energy use in new builds and to balance our energy demand.

How long does it take to plan an electricity storage project?

It means that most electricity storage projects, with the exception of pumped hydro schemes, can be determined through the Town and Country Planning Act, by local planning authorities. In effect this means that planning applications for projects over 50MW should, theoretically, be decided in between eight and 13 weeks depending on their size.

Can battery storage be used in large scale plants?

storage technology for large scale plants at present. Battery storage can be deployed at a range of scales. For example, domestic battery storage can store excess electricity from a household’s rooftop solar panels, whilst large utility battery storage can store excess electricity f
