Energy storage platform mini program

What is the energy storage program?

The Energy Storage program provides operational support to clients by working with World Bank teams to advance the IDA20 Energy Policy Commitment of developing battery storage in at least 15 countries (including at least 10 fragile and conflict-affected situations).

What is flexible generation capacity & storage?

Flexible generation capacity and storage are elements of the energy transition and the continued expansion of intermittent renewable energy (RE) as they offer unparalleled flexibility to optimally deliver energy and ancillary services.

How can the energy storage sizing app facilitate knowledge exchange?

Leveraging technology for facilitating knowledge exchange: the program developed the Energy Storage Sizing App that countries can use to obtain a preliminary assessment of the energy storage sizing requirements and to project the cost of hybrid solar PV and energy storage systems, using storage for smoothing and shifting applications.

What is the residential battery experimentation platform?

The residential battery experimentation platform replicates every aspect of a residential battery system in the ESIF—from utility rate designs to state of charge for consumer battery systems.

Why is energy storage important?

Energy storage is fundamental to stockpile renewable energy on a massive scale. The Energy Storage Program, a window of the World Bank’s Energy Sector Management Assistance Program’s (ESMAP) has been working to scale up sustainable energy storage investments and generate global knowledge on storage solutions.

Can grid-scale battery storage improve ancillary service market in Ukraine?

In Ukraine, the Energy Storage Program supported a variable renewable energy (VRE) integration analysis of grid-scale battery storage’s potential role in developing and balancing Ukraine's ancillary service market.
