What is the future of energy storage?

The future of energy storage is essential for decarbonizing our energy infrastructure and combating climate change. It enables electricity systems to remain in balance despite variations in wind and solar availability, allowing for cost-effective deep decarbonization while maintaining reliability.

Why is energy storage important in a power system?

Energy storage is a potential substitute for, or complement to, almost every aspect of a power system. It can improve generation, transmission, and demand flexibility. Storage should be co-optimized with clean generation, transmission systems, and strategies to reward consumers for making their electricity use more flexible.

Should energy storage systems be mainstreamed in the developing world?

Making energy storage systems mainstream in the developing world will be a game changer. Deploying battery energy storage systems will provide more comprehensive access to electricity while enabling much greater use of renewable energy, ultimately helping the world meet its Net Zero decarbonization targets.

What is thermal energy storage?

Thermal energy storage is used particularly in buildings and industrial processes. It involves storing excess energy – typically surplus energy from renewable sources, or waste heat – to be used later for heating, cooling or power generation. Liquids – such as water – or solid material - such as sand or rocks - can store thermal energy.

Why do we need a co-optimized energy storage system?

The need to co-optimize storage with other elements of the electricity system, coupled with uncertain climate change impacts on demand and supply, necessitates advances in analytical tools to reliably and efficiently plan, operate, and regulate power systems of the future.

Can energy storage reduce electricity cost?

Energy storage can reduce the cost of electricity for developing country economies. Lower storage costs increase both electricity cost savings and environmental benefits.
