Overview
ABSTRACT
In a rapidly evolving energy landscape, battery storage plays a key role in absorbing the electrical energy generated by renewable sources. Among the available technologies, lithium‑ion batteries hold a predominant position due to their performance and their high flexibility in terms of sizing. They are now widely deployed among others in stationary applications.
This article presents so-called stationary batteries within the context of ongoing transformations in the energy system. Following a technical introduction from the cell to the complete system, several examples of industrial applications are described. Finally, various cross‑cutting topics related to stationary batteries, including the issue of second‑life use, are discussed.

INTRODUCTION
Battery-based electrical energy storage in stationary applications is a key element in absorbing the electrical energy generated by renewable energy sources. In particular, it helps address the challenge of synchronizing uncontrollable generation with fluctuating demand, thereby ensuring the balance of power grids through a wide range of services. This function is all the more essential in the case of microgrids or isolated grids, such as certain island grids, where batteries help increase the penetration of renewable energy and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
Among the available technologies, lithium-ion batteries play a dominant role due to their performance and high flexibility in terms of sizing (power, energy, service life, cycle life, cost). They are now widely deployed in stationary applications, as well as in the mobility and electronics sectors and many other fields.
After discussing the role of stationary storage within existing stationary and mobile storage infrastructure, the fundamentals of batteries are presented before delving into greater detail on the design of a battery system, including the necessary auxiliary components and monitoring systems. Following a presentation of examples of battery use in stationary applications, a discussion will explore various aspects of batteries in greater depth, such as resource requirements, second-life applications, and recycling.
