Can energy storage bring utilities back into the game?

Energy storage is about maintaining balance between supply and demand – a core activity of the traditional utility. Energy storage may therefore bring utilities back into the game. In this report, we highlight the various needs for energy storage. We will also examine the first cases in deploying energy storage.

Why do we need a large energy storage system?

Their role is tradition-ally to support the energy system, where large amounts of baseload capacity cannot deliver enough flexibility to respond to changes in demand during the day. Now, these large energy storage systems deliver the flexibility to respond to the intermittency of renewable energy sources.

What will Shanghai's energy-storage project do?

Zhuang Mudi, deputy secretary-general of the Shanghai municipal government, said the project will help drive the development of the new energy-storage industry, as well as the green and low-carbon transformation of Shanghai.

What is the value of energy storage?

The value of energy storage depends to a great extent on rules and regulations that determine the revenue base. Current policies for the energy system do not yet ac-knowledge the specific role of storage and they are often seen as generation-only.

What are the business models for large energy storage systems?

The business models for large energy storage systems like PHS and CAES are changing. Their role is tradition-ally to support the energy system, where large amounts of baseload capacity cannot deliver enough flexibility to respond to changes in demand during the day.

Why is energy storage important?

System operators have to incorporate inter-mittent supplies in their grid and major shifts in power flows have occurred. Energy storage technology will become indispensable to increase the share of renewable energy in the system. It enables the balance between demand and supply to be struck by absorbing and releasing power when needed.
