Our focus on grid-scale electrical energy storage is a central element of a broader energy storage landscape that spans both Sandia Albuquerque and Sandia California and includes large-scale thermal and thermochemical storage, hydrogen storage, and even pumped hydroelectric and compressed air energy storage.
Through the SFS, NREL analyzed the potentially fundamental role of energy storage in maintaining a resilient, flexible, and low carbon U.S. power grid through the year 2050.
To develop transformative energy storage solutions, system-level needs must drive basic science and research. Learn more about our energy storage research projects . NREL's energy storage research is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and industry partnerships.
Kelly Loukatou, one of the ESO’s energy insight leads, considers the role energy storage plays in the current energy landscape and how this is likely to develop. Energy systems need to continuously match supply and demand to ensure that electricity is delivered securely to UK houses and businesses.
A secure, robust, and agile electricity grid is a central element of national infrastructure. Modernization of this infrastructure is critical for the nation’s economic vitality and our ability to achieve a clean energy future.
This document explores the definition of “long duration” as applied to energy storage. Given the growing use of this term, a uniform definition could aid in communication and consistency among various stakeholders. There is large and growing use of the Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E) definition of greater than 10 hours.
