Abstract: Compared with traditional lithium-ion battery, a battery using lithium titanate anode shows the performance of fast charging and high rate discharge capability, long calendar life, while the cost per A?h is relatively high. It analyses the requirements of a typical power-type MW-class energy storage system for the scope of the C-rate and capacity. Considering the advantages of lithium titanate battery for high power applications, it is concluded that obvious less high-rate lithium titanate battery is needed in a power-type system compared with traditional lithium-ion battery. It can translate into the competitive advantage of the energy storage system.

Key words: lithium titanate battery, energy storage systems, power-type, high-rate
