The availability of qualified technicians plays a key role before and after constructing the energy storage system, which also plays a critical role in sustainable economic development in developing countries. The available instrument for energy storage management is not optimized for developing countries' perspectives.
" Solar-plus-storage systems can provide clean, affordable, and reliable electricity access in developing countries while reducing dependence on fossil-based energy systems ," said World Bank Vice President for Infrastructure Guangzhe Chen.
Mainstreaming energy storage systems in the developing world will be a game changer. They will accelerate much wider access to electricity, while also enabling much greater use of renewable energy, so helping the world to meet its net zero, decarbonization targets.
I also consent to having my name published. Energy storage is key to secure constant renewable energy supply to power systems – even when the sun does not shine, and the wind does not blow. Energy storage provides a solution to achieve flexibility, enhance grid reliability and power quality, and accommodate the scale-up of renewable energy.
When analyzing the sustainability aspects of electrical energy storage types, it becomes evident that the pumped hydro storage is the most widely used electrical energy storage technology, where electricity is stored in the form of hydraulic potential and can be shifted back to the power grid when required.
Energy storage takes many forms – pumped storage, compressed air storage, and thermal storage, among others. The WBG has been supporting pumped storage and thermal storage (in concentrated solar plants) for years.
Why energy storage matters for the global energy transition
Deployed together with variable renewable energy like wind and solar, it can help displace costly and polluting fossil fuel-generated electricity, while increasing security of supply. Storage can also help defer or avoid the construction of new grid infrastructure.
