Energy storage is a way to capture and store electricity to lower energy costs, improve grid reliability, and solve the intermittency of renewables. Energy storage is one of the most essential technologies in the energy industry.
Energy storage is one of the most essential technologies in the energy industry. It enables the capture and storage of electricity to lower energy costs, improves grid reliability, and solves the intermittency of renewables. However, some challenges still prevent the mass adoption of energy storage.
This study shows that battery electricity storage systems offer enormous deployment and cost-reduction potential. By 2030, total installed costs could fall between 50% and 60% (and battery cell costs by even more), driven by optimisation of manufacturing facilities, combined with better combinations and reduced use of materials.
Electricity storage is currently an economic solution of-grid in solar home systems and mini-grids where it can also increase the fraction of renewable energy in the system to as high as 100% (IRENA, 2016c). The same applies in the case of islands or other isolated grids that are reliant on diesel-fired electricity (IRENA, 2016a; IRENA, 2016d).
Energy storage systems can store the extra energy and deploy it at a later point in time. The benefits and applications this flexibility provides businesses make adopting an ESS a compelling argument. To learn more about the different applications of ESSs, check out our previous blog here.
With the falling costs of solar PV and wind power technologies, the focus is increasingly moving to the next stage of the energy transition and an energy systems approach, where energy storage can help integrate higher shares of solar and wind power.
