Report Description
Unlike banking accounts, where one saves money and use it afterwards whenever
required; electricity is an asset which needs to be consumed as exactly when it is being
generated. When compare to energy generation, energy storage is quite complicated
process. Most of the times we refer how the energy could be saved when it is
economically dispatched, so as to utilize it in order to serve the consumers with a robust
and cost-effective manner. However, with the advancements in technology and
increasing demand of electricity it will give rise to dramatic change of load characteristics
all over the world. Future trend will be the application of using batteries to provide bulk
power to the load with a new set of regulations emerging to support the energy needs.

Report Description
Each cell is typically made in a tall, cylindrical configuration. The entire cell is enclosed by
a steel casing usually protected by chromium and molybdenum from internal corrosion.
This outside casing serves as the positive electrode, while the liquid sodium serves as the
negative electrode. The container is sealed at the top with an airtight alumina lid. An
essential part of the cell is the presence of a beta-alumina solid electrolyte (BASE)
membrane, which selectively conducts sodium cations.
With increasing size, the cell becomes much more economical. In commercial
applications, the cells are arranged in blocks for better conservation of heat and are
encased in a vacuum-insulated box. Pure sodium presents a hazard because it
spontaneously burns or explodes in contact with water, so the system must be protected
from moisture. In modern NaS cells, sealing techniques are quite sophisticated which
make fires unlikely, although there have been cell leaks.
Since 1983, NGK Insulators Ltd. (NGK)/ Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) have
become the primary drivers behind the development of the sodium sulfur batteries
because all of its componentssodium, sulfur and ceramics are abundantly found in
Japan. In late 1990s, first large-scale prototype field testing took place using 3 x 2 MW,
6.6 kV battery banks. Based on this testing, improved battery modules were made
commercially available in 2000. Sodium sulfur batteries are a possible energy storage
technology to support renewable energy generation, specifically in solar generation
plants and wind farms. These batteries present an option for energy storage in locations
where other storage options are not feasible due to location or terrain constraints.
Electric energy is stored and delivered within 1 mill second of an electronic command.

Sodium sulfur batteries are used in the pilot projects to develop a durable utility power
storage due to its high efficiency of 70% or higher and better lifetime. The world's largest
sodium sulfur battery in service is in Texas, used for supplementing the power grid.
Sodium Sulfur Batteries Market: Drivers & Restraints
Increasing infrastructure investments, growing population, rising demand of power and
ecofriendly energy storage are some of the key factors driving the growth of global
sodium sulfur batteries market.
The threat of moisture is quite important for sodium sulfur batteries, giving rise to
regular battery servicing as well as individual cell inspection to ensure long term
operation. Battery servicing include the crucial work of replacement of the cells showing
any sign of leakage. Periodic maintenance, inspection and sealing costs, regulations on
distributed energy storage (DES) and installation in inaccessible places are probable
factors restraining the growth of the global sodium sulfur batteries market.
