Australia has the industrial base and the national interest to support a growing long duration energy storage market. What it needs now is a national target.
A record 4 GW/10 GWh of grid-scale battery energy storage projects commenced construction across Australia in 2023 but that mark is almost certain to be eclipsed this year.
Currently storage of electrical energy in Australia consists of a small number of pumped hydroelectric facilities and grid-scale batteries, and a diversity of battery storage systems at small scale, used mainly for backup. To balance energy use across the Australian economy, heat and fuel (chemical energy) storage are also required.
Australia had 2,325MW of capacity in 2022 and this is expected to rise to 22,076MW by 2030. Listed below are the five largest energy storage projects by capacity in Australia, according to GlobalData’s power database. GlobalData uses proprietary data and analytics to provide a complete picture of the global energy storage segment.
The CEC said emerging LDES technologies coupled with the energy storage systems in place, would be the best suite to appropriately manage Australia’s needs. In March this year, the ARENA held an Insights Forum which covered energy storage and technologies that can bring system security to the grid.
Global energy storage capacity was estimated to have reached 36,735MW by the end of 2022 and is forecasted to grow to 353,880MW by 2030. Australia had 2,325MW of capacity in 2022 and this is expected to rise to 22,076MW by 2030.
Increasing gap between maximum and minimum operational demand in Australia call for urgent need of balancing storage technologies. Fast response hybrid battery-supercapacitor energy storage are deemed prudent solution for the transition period, while PHES and Hydrogen are for long-term storage
Hydrogen: Large-scale storage would be required if Australia is to meet its hydrogen export ambitions. Hydrogen storage could also play a role in decarbonising heavy-duty vehicles, but it is still emerging. Maturity
