Energy storage system (ESS) can mediate the smart distribution of local energy to reduce the overall carbon footprint in the environment. South Korea is actively involved in the integration of ESS into renewable energy development. This perspective highlights the research and development status of ESS in South Korea.
Less than a decade ago, South Korean companies held over half of the global energy storage system (ESS) market with the rushed promise of helping secure a more sustainable energy future. However, a string of ESS-related fires and a lack of infrastructure had dampened investments in this market.
In Korea, the total capacity of ESSs connected to the power system reached 1.6 GW and 4.8 GWh as of 2018. 45 In terms of power capacity, 40% of ESSs are used for peak load reduction, 36% in hybrid systems (i.e., a combination of RE and ESS), and about 24% for frequency control.
South Korea’s investment in the energy transition came in at $25 billion last year. A clear and consistent policy framework is necessary to boost investor confidence and match the spending needs of a net-zero future.
South Korea is actively involved in the integration of ESS into renewable energy development. This perspective highlights the research and development status of ESS in South Korea. We provide an overview of different ESS technologies practiced in South Korea with a special emphasise on the electrochemical energy storage systems.
