Reviewing the status of three utility-scale energy storage options: pumped hydroelectric energy storage (PHES), compressed air energy storage, and hydrogen storage. Conducting a techno-economic case study on utilising PHES facilities to supply peak demand in Oman.
Electricity market structure in Oman Unlike the electrical energy sources used in traditional power plants, renewable energy sources are not dispatchable and will vary over time; as a result, the energy feed in the network will be intermittent.
Conducting a techno-economic case study on utilising PHES facilities to supply peak demand in Oman. This manuscript proceeds by reviewing the status of utility-scale energy storage options in Section 2. Section 3 presents the status and main challenges of Oman’s MIS.
The move – a first in Oman’s power sector – will help support the large-scale adoption of renewable energy resources for electricity generation, as well as accelerate the decarbonization of the electricity sector, according to a key executive of the state-owned entity – a member of Nama Group.
In 2015, Oman committed to an unconditional 2% emissions cut by 2030 at the United Nations Climate Change Conference. This target is to be achieved through reduction in gas flaring and increase in the utilisation of renewable energy (Carbon Brief 2016 ). The third challenge of the power sector in Oman is supply mix.
A Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) plant works by pumping and storing air in an underground cavity or a container when excess or low-cost electricity is available. The stored energy is recovered by mixing the compressed air with natural gas. This compressed mixture is burned and expanded in a modified thermal turbine.
