Will a large-scale energy storage system be needed?
No matter how much generating capacity is installed, there will be times when wind and solar cannot meet all demand, and large-scale storage will be needed. Historical weather records indicate that it will be necessary to store large amounts of energy (some 1000 times that provided by pumped hydro) for many years.
Why are large-scale energy storage technologies important?
Learn more. The rapid evolution of renewable energy sources and the increasing demand for sustainable power systems have necessitated the development of efficient and reliable large-scale energy storage technologies.
Why do we need electricity storage?
Due to the variability of renewable electricity (wind, solar) and its lack of synchronicity with the peaks of electricity demand, there is an essential need to store electricity at times of excess supply, for use at times of high demand. This article reviews some of the key issues concerning electricity storage.
Can a large-scale storage system meet Britain's electricity demand?
Great Britain’s demand for electricity could be met largely (or even wholly) by wind and solar energy supported by large-scale storage at a cost that compares favourably with the costs of low-carbon alternatives, which are not well suited to complementing intermittent wind and solar energy and variable demand.
Could large-scale storage be a viable alternative to direct wind and solar?
In 2050 Great Britain’s demand for electricity could be met by wind and solar energy supported by large-scale storage. The cost of complementing direct wind and solar supply with storage compares very favourably with the cost of low-carbon alternatives. Further, storage has the potential to provide greater energy security.
