N2 - With ever increasing penetration of renewable energy sources into the power grid, the development and commercialization of large-scale energy storage system (ESS) have been accelerated. It is of great significance to evaluate the sustainability of ESSs for grid applications. In the present work, a comprehensive life cycle inventory analysis model, which involves the manufacturing, usage, transportation and recycling processes, was developed for lithium iron phosphate battery (LIPB), nickel manganese cobalt oxide battery (NMCB) and vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB). The functional unit was 1MWh of delivered energy from ESS to the grid. The ReCiPe 2016 (H) method was selected and data analysis was carried out in SimaPro software. The global warming potential (GWP) of LIPB, NMCB and VRFB in the grid peak-shaving scenario were obtained as 129 kgCO2-eq/MWh, 146 kgCO2-eq/MWh and 365 kgCO2-eq/MWh, respectively. GWP of different batteries in renewable energy sources (photovoltaic and wind power) was also predicted based on the developed model. The key materials that contributed significantly to GWP were also identified. Moreover, the future trend in GWP was analyzed based on the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals. It is indicated that GWP of LIPB, NMCB and VRFB in the announced pledges scenario could be reduced to approximately 75% in 2030, and 24%~41% in 2050, respectively. Parametric analysis was then carried out, indicating that the round-trip efficiency and number of daily cycles exhibited the significant influence. The results would promote the environment, policy and business model optimization for large-scale energy storage in the low-carbon power systems.
