Energy storage solutions are vital to both areas of research. The main issue with renewable energy is its fleeting nature. When the wind is blowing or the sun is shining, the electricity that is produced must either be used or lost. On the other hand, when it’s cloudy or the wind isn’t blowing, power may not be available to meet demand.
As technology advances, storage is expected to become an increasingly popular solution for energy demands. As an emerging technology, the Department recognizes the need for a regulatory and legislative framework for energy storage.
Steps also need to be taken when production falls and demand does not. In order to be the most effective, energy storage solutions should be incorporated into the electrical grid, heating and cooling networks and natural gas systems, according to a recent working paper from the European Commission.
Energy storage with batteries have the ability to guarantee grid stability in various ways. The ancillary services that storage facilities can offer are essential for the integration of intermittent and distributed renewable energy sources (Abbas and Chowdhury 2021).
In addition to peak demand reduction and backup power during outages, customer-sited storage can provide a broad range of grid services, including energy to compensate for dips in solar and wind power production, energy arbitrage, frequency regulation, voltage support, and deferral of grid infrastructure upgrades.
As Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) become more widespread and essential for integrating renewable energy sources into the grid, it is important to consider potential limitations and challenges that may arise in the future. One major limitation is the cost of BESS technology, which can be prohibitive for some investors.
