Energy storage for renewable grid integration Dr. Vidyanandan K.V. Senior Member, IEEE Online published on 27 September, 2023. Abstract Over 80% of the world's primary energy supply comes from fossil fuels. The demand for energy is projected to increase by 2.3% annually between 2020 and 2040. To reduce the adverse effects of global warming and the resulting climate change, there must be a substantial reduction in the consumption of fossil hydrocarbons within the next few decades. Renewable energy sources (RES), such as solar, wind, etc., have great potential for delivering clean, sustainable and reliable energy. However, due to their inherently variable and intermittent nature, it is very challenging to supply reliable and quality power on demand. This is because the wind does not always blow and the sun does not always shine at times when there is need for power, or there may not always be a high demand for electricity during periods of peak RES availability. In order to stabilise their output and lessen the negative impacts brought on by variability and intermittency, RES need the support of other balancing services. Energy storage is one such option for smoothing out variability fluctuations, as well as for reducing peak congestion and flattening loads. This article reviews several energy storage technologies that have the potential to be integrated with renewables. Top Keywords Energy storage, Intermittent, Renewable, Solar PV, Variability, Wind turbine. Top |
