What role do energy storage systems play in modern power grids?
In conclusion, energy storage systems play a crucial role in modern power grids, both with and without renewable energy integration, by addressing the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources, improving grid stability, and enabling efficient energy management.
Why do we need a grid-scale energy-storage system?
Under some conditions, excess renewable energy is produced and, without storage, is curtailed 2, 3; under others, demand is greater than generation from renewables. Grid-scale energy-storage (GSES) systems are therefore needed to store excess renewable energy to be released on demand, when power generation is insufficient 4.
What are the major energy storage services for electricity generation?
Major energy-storage services for electricity generation include renewables integration 26, black start, peak shaving, long-duration energy storage and seasonal energy storage (Figs. 1b and 3). In renewables integration, BESTs are used to store renewable energy 26.
What types of battery technologies are being developed for grid-scale energy storage?
In this Review, we describe BESTs being developed for grid-scale energy storage, including high-energy, aqueous, redox flow, high-temperature and gas batteries. Battery technologies support various power system services, including providing grid support services and preventing curtailment.
Are battery energy-storage technologies necessary for grid-scale energy storage?
The rise in renewable energy utilization is increasing demand for battery energy-storage technologies (BESTs). BESTs based on lithium-ion batteries are being developed and deployed. However, this technology alone does not meet all the requirements for grid-scale energy storage.
What technologies are used in GSEs systems?
Various technologies have been proposed and developed for GSES systems 5, 6, 7, including battery energy-storage technologies (BESTs), pumped storage hydropower (PSH), compressed-air energy storage, electrochemical capacitors, thermal energy-storage systems, hydrogen energy storage and flywheels 8, 9 (Fig. 1a).
