Short-, medium-, and long-duration energy storage are all important in balancing low and high demand energy periods, the use of renewable energy sources, and grid resiliency. Continued innovation is key to the future of energy storage.
For instance, when the clouds suddenly appear or the wind stops blowing then the energy production from photovoltaics and wind turbines will be decreased dramatically. Thus, energy storage can allow energy to be stored during high renewable generation or low demand periods, and to be used during low renewable production or high demand periods .
In other words, the energy is stored when there is excess in renewable energy production and it is released to the grid during periods of high demand (Fig. 20). The storage technology must be scalable and able to provide energy for some minutes to some hours.
Electrical Energy Storage (EES) refers to systems that store electricity in a form that can be converted back into electrical energy when needed. 1 Batteries are one of the most common forms of electrical energy storage.
One study found that the economic value of energy storage in the U.S. is $228B over a 10 year period. 27 Lithium-ion batteries are one of the fastest-growing energy storage technologies 30 due to their high energy density, high power, near 100% efficiency, and low self-discharge 31. The U.S. has 1.1 Mt of lithium reserves, 4% of global reserves. 32
Long-duration energy storage is ideal for grid-scale applications and addressing long-term needs. The issue becomes the infrastructure needed for these systems and the efficiency losses when converting stored energy into electricity.
