Storage enables electricity systems to remain in balance despite variations in wind and solar availability, allowing for cost-effective deep decarbonization while maintaining reliability. The Future of Energy Storage report is an essential analysis of this key component in decarbonizing our energy infrastructure and combating climate change.
The European Commission already issued guidelines for unlocking the potential of energy storage, but storage is only one tool in the flexibility toolbox. An EU action plan on electrification should include a strategy to unlock the potential of all clean flexibility sources.
The International Network of Energy Transition Think Tanks (INETTT) is a group of independent, non-profit think tanks dedicated to working on the energy transition to achieve the climate goals of the Paris Agreement.
Renewable energy integration and decarbonization of world energy systems are made possible by the use of energy storage technologies. As a result, it provides significant benefits with regard to ancillary power services, quality, stability, and supply reliability.
Several investigations have considered the technical and economic aspects of storage, but there is a lack of information on their environmental impact. The review indicates the absence of knowledge space identification in the area of energy storage, which requires updating and accumulating data.
The need to co-optimize storage with other elements of the electricity system, coupled with uncertain climate change impacts on demand and supply, necessitate advances in analytical tools to reliably and efficiently plan, operate, and regulate power systems of the future.
