What's happening with energy storage in 2024?

The start of 2024 saw the Edwards & Sanborn project, featuring 3,287MWh of battery storage alongside 864MW of solar PV, come fully online. Image: Terra-Gen As we welcome the end of another exciting, if sometimes challenging year, here are the most-read news stories on Energy-Storage.news for 2024.

Why is energy storage important in electrical power engineering?

Various application domains are considered. Energy storage is one of the hot points of research in electrical power engineering as it is essential in power systems. It can improve power system stability, shorten energy generation environmental influence, enhance system efficiency, and also raise renewable energy source penetrations.

How did energy storage grow in 2022 & 2023?

The US utility-scale storage sector saw tremendous growth over 2022 and 2023. In 2022, the volume of energy storage installations totaled 11,976 megawatt hours (MWh), which was surpassed in the first three quarters of 2023, reaching 13,518 MWh by cumulative volume.

Is 2020 the 'decade of energy storage'?

The Battery Report refers to the 2020s as the “Decade of Energy Storage”, and it’s not difficult to see why. With falling costs, larger installations, and a global push for cleaner energy which has led to increased investments, the growth of Battery Energy Storage Systems is surpassing even the most optimistic of expectations.

What are the challenges to integrating energy-storage systems?

This article discusses several challenges to integrating energy-storage systems, including battery deterioration, inefficient energy operation, ESS sizing and allocation, and financial feasibility. It is essential to choose the ESS that is most practical for each application.

Did battery energy storage systems help the energy system recover?

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) from several firms helped the energy system recover after the NSL interconnector, which connects the UK and Norway, suddenly stopped exporting power to the UK.
