Storage enables electricity systems to remain in balance despite variations in wind and solar availability, allowing for cost-effective deep decarbonization while maintaining reliability. The Future of Energy Storage report is an essential analysis of this key component in decarbonizing our energy infrastructure and combating climate change.
The model results presented in this chapter focus on the value of energy storage enabled by its arbitrage function in future electricity systems. Energy storage makes it possible to defer investments in generation and transmission, reduce VRE curtailment, reduce thermal generator startups, and reduce transmission losses.
166MIT Study on the Future of Energy Storage integration, by contrast, are expected to account for only a very small share (approximately 0.5%) of hydrogen demand. Increased demand for “green” hydrogen will drive down the cost of green hydrogen production technologies, eventually making power generation via hydrogen more cost competitive.
To enable economical long-duration energy storage (> 12 hours), the DOE should support research, development, and demonstration to advance alternative electrochemical storage technologies that rely on earth-abundant materials.
The firm plans to have 50 gw h of storage operational in 2025, with another 50 gw h coming within the next few years. Compressed gas is another approach showing promise. Italy’s Energy Dome stores carbon dioxide under pressure in distinctive white domes. When energy is needed, the gas is expanded and passed through a turbine.
E nergy storage for the electrical grid is about to hit the big time. By the reckoning of the International Energy Agency (iea), a forecaster, grid-scale storage is now the fastest-growing of all the energy technologies.
