Pumped-storage hydropower is still the most widely deployed storage technology, but grid-scale batteries are catching up The total installed capacity of pumped-storage hydropower stood at around 160 GW in 2021. Global. . The rapid scaling up of energy storage systems will be critical to address the hour‐to‐hour variability of wind and solar PV electricity generation. . While innovation on lithium-ion batteries continues, further cost reductions depend on critical mineral prices Based on cost and energy density considerations, lithium iron phosphate batteries, a. In 2025, some 80 gigawatts (gw) of new grid-scale energy storage will be added globally, an eight-fold increase from 2021. [pdf]
The cumulative installed capacity of new energy storage projects is 21.1GW/44.6GWh, and the power and energy scale have increased by more than 225% year-on-year. Figure 1: Cumulative installed capacity (MW%) of electric energy storage projects commissioned in China (as of the end of June 2023)
In July 2021 China announced plans to install over 30 GW of energy storage by 2025 (excluding pumped-storage hydropower), a more than three-fold increase on its installed capacity as of 2022.
Developers and power plant owners plan to significantly increase utility-scale battery storage capacity in the United States over the next three years, reaching 30.0 gigawatts (GW) by the end of 2025, based on our latest Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory.
New York, October 12, 2022 – Energy storage installations around the world are projected to reach a cumulative 411 gigawatts (or 1,194 gigawatt-hours) by the end of 2030, according to the latest forecast from research company BloombergNEF (BNEF). That is 15 times the 27GW/56GWh of storage that was online at the end of 2021.
Batteries are typically employed for sub-hourly, hourly and daily balancing. Total installed grid-scale battery storage capacity stood at close to 28 GW at the end of 2022, most of which was added over the course of the previous 6 years. Compared with 2021, installations rose by more than 75% in 2022, as around 11 GW of storage capacity was added.
Mechanical technologies, particularly pumped hydropower, have historically been the most widely used large-scale energy storage. In 2022, global pumped storage hydropower capacity surpassed 135 gigawatts, with China, Japan, and the United States combined accounting for almost one third of this value.

China Tower is a world-leading tower provider that builds, maintains, and operates site support infrastructure such as telecommunication towers, high-speed rail, subway systems, and large indoor distributed systems.

Therefore, the base station energy storage can be used as FR resources and maintain the stability of the power system. The base station is the physical foundation for the popularity of 5G networks. 5G base stations distribute densely in cities.
Base stations for renewable energy powered sustainable 5G networks should always remain connected to the power grid for continuous energy supply. However, this strategy is not environmentally friendly and could result in higher energy costs, as during renewable energy deficits at the base stations, energy has to be procured from the power grid even when its cost is high.
In [ 20 ], the energy saving strategy of base station is proposed considering the variability and complementarity of base station communication loads. This strategy helps the power system to cut peaks and fill valleys while reducing base station operating costs.
Although the power output of a single base station storage is limited, the combined regulation of large-scale base stations can have a significant meaning. Therefore, the base station energy storage can be used as FR resources and maintain the stability of the power system.
In the optimal configuration of energy storage in 5G base stations, long-term planning and short-term operation of the energy storage are interconnected. Therefore, a two-layer optimization model was established to optimize the comprehensive benefits of energy storage planning and operation.
The nominal capacity of the base station energy storage is 20 kWh, and the number of the base station in each operating state is 500. The SOC values of the base station obey normal distribution between 0 and 1 in each operating states. This paper takes \ ( {\text {SOC}}_ { {i,\min }} = 0.3 \) and \ ( {\text {SOC}}_ { {i,\max }} = 0.9 \).
