Grid energy storage, also known as large-scale energy storage, are technologies connected to the electrical power grid that store energy for later use. These systems help balance supply and demand by storing excess electricity from variable renewables such as solar and inflexible sources like nuclear power, releasing it when needed.
By offering additional services in turns or in parallel with the main service it is possible to create important revenue streams. The aim of this review is to provide an up-to-date status of service stacking using grid connected energy storage systems by presenting current research and on-the-table ideas.
Energy storage solutions for grid applications are becoming more common among grid owners, system operators and end-users. Storage systems are enablers of several possibilities and may provide efficient solutions to e.g., energy balancing, ancillary services as well as deferral of infrastructure investments.
Grid-scale storage refers to technologies connected to the power grid that can store energy and then supply it back to the grid at a more advantageous time – for example, at night, when no solar power is available, or during a weather event that disrupts electricity generation.
By the reckoning of the International Energy Agency (iea), a forecaster, grid-scale storage is now the fastest-growing of all the energy technologies. In 2025, some 80 gigawatts (gw) of new grid-scale energy storage will be added globally, an eight-fold increase from 2021. Grid-scale energy storage is on the rise thanks to four potent forces.
