Energy storage power production is the key to reliable electrical power for renewable and alternative power solutions. The primary technology for energy storage has been lithium-ion based batteries, first used in the consumer market, and now in the transportation and large-scale storage markets. This technology is based on the transfer of lithium-ions between an alloy and graphite-based electrode forming a lithium-ion cell. The cells are grouped together to form a battery pack or modules which can then be used to power application or devices. The technology was first researched and invented in the United States, but it is currently manufactured globally, with the majority of cells produced in Asia.
There are three major industries demanding power cells: Power electronics devices, Automotive vehicles, and Energy storage power back up. The automotive electric vehicle sector has become the largest user.
