It said that current forecasts predict that 650GW of energy storage will be on the world’s grids by 2030, which, despite being evidence of the massive growth of storage adoption, would fall well short of the required target. COP28, which took place in Dubai, UAE, last year, ended with a pledge to “transition away from fossil fuels.”
Grid energy storage, also known as large-scale energy storage, are technologies connected to the electrical power grid that store energy for later use. These systems help balance supply and demand by storing excess electricity from variable renewables such as solar and inflexible sources like nuclear power, releasing it when needed.
Three distinct yet interlinked dimensions can illustrate energy storage’s expanding role in the current and future electric grid—renewable energy integration, grid optimization, and electrification and decentralization support.
While not an exhaustive review, Table 1 demonstrates a large range of definitions, with a significant number of definitions with three threshold values: ≥4 hours, ≥10 hours, and what we call “beyond diurnal,” which in the literature generally corresponds to multiday to seasonal storage.
The final text of the Energy Storage and Grids Pledge for COP29 recognises the essential role both play in the power sector’s decarbonisation, including facilitating the increased integration of renewable energy and providing stable and secure supply of electricity.
As of 2023, the largest form of grid storage is pumped-storage hydroelectricity, with utility-scale batteries and behind-the-meter batteries coming second and third. Lithium-ion batteries are highly suited for shorter duration storage up to 8 hours. Flow batteries and compressed air energy storage may provide storage for medium duration.
