Less than a decade ago, South Korean companies held over half of the global energy storage system (ESS) market with the rushed promise of helping secure a more sustainable energy future. However, a string of ESS-related fires and a lack of infrastructure had dampened investments in this market.
Energy storage system (ESS) can mediate the smart distribution of local energy to reduce the overall carbon footprint in the environment. South Korea is actively involved in the integration of ESS into renewable energy development. This perspective highlights the research and development status of ESS in South Korea.
KEPCO, through its six generating subsidiaries, owns around 70 per cent of the generation capacity, while the remaining capacity is accounted for by independent power producers and community energy systems. Figure 1: South Korea’s installed generation capacity, as of early 2024 (%) Total installed capacity = 144.4 GW
The Gyeongsan Substation – Battery Energy Storage System is a 48,000kW lithium-ion battery energy storage project located in Jillyang-eup, North Gyeongsang, South Korea. The rated storage capacity of the project is 12,000kWh. The electro-chemical battery storage project uses lithium-ion battery storage technology.
The country has unveiled an ambitious plan to transform its energy sectors, aiming to generate 70 per cent of its electricity from carbon-free sources by 2038. South Korea aims to have 30 nuclear plants by 2038 and to more than triple its solar and wind power output to 72 GW by 2030.
South Korea is actively involved in the integration of ESS into renewable energy development. This perspective highlights the research and development status of ESS in South Korea. We provide an overview of different ESS technologies practiced in South Korea with a special emphasise on the electrochemical energy storage systems.
