The more solar and wind plants the world installs to wean grids off fossil fuels, the more urgently it needs mature, cost-effective technologies
The relationship between energy storage and energy crisis is analyzed by a mathematical model. The natural gas price and strategic energy storage are analyzed by an economy model. The necessities and advantages of strategic energy storage in China are analyzed. The measures for improving China's strategic energy storage are proposed.
Spyros Foteinis highlights the acknowledged problem that an insufficient capacity to store energy can result in generated renewable energy being wasted (Nature 632, 29; 2024). But the risks for power-system security of the converse problem β excessive energy storage β have been mostly overlooked.
Perhaps the most significant problem is its low efficiency. During the discharge phase, approximately 40%β50% of the electricity put into the storage system can be collected [563,564]. 3. Comparison among the energy storage systems
But the risks for power-system security of the converse problem β excessive energy storage β have been mostly overlooked. China plans to install up to 180 million kilowatts of pumped-storage hydropower capacity by 2030. This is around 3.5βtimes the current capacity, and equivalent to 8 power plants the size of Chinaβs Three Gorges Dam.
The expansion is driven mainly by local governments and lacks coordination with new energy stations and the power grid. In some regions, a considerable storage oversupply could lead to conflicts in power-dispatch strategies across timescales and jurisdictions, increasing the risk of system instability and large-scale blackouts.
The entire word economy is much more interlinked than it was 50 years ago, magnifying the impact. Thatβs why we can refer to this as the first truly global energy crisis. Some gas-intensive manufacturing plants in Europe have curtailed output because they canβt afford to keep operating, while in China some have simply had their power supply cut.
